Through Forests and Mountains
Ideas for getting into the hills with your dog—through deep forests, across open ridges, to waterfalls and rocky summits. These are real trips on real terrain, sometimes on bikes, sometimes on foot, always with a canine in mind.
Each post shares a workable route, starting points and conditions to expect, plus notes on heat, snow, altitude, water and footing for your dog. Use it for planning, gut‑checking difficulty, and finding quieter alternatives to busy hotspots.
To the summit of Cerro Hualchisa—with a dog in the car
The town of Llica sits on the western edge of the Salar de Uyuni, high on Bolivia’s Altiplano. It’s a quiet, unassuming place that feels a little cut off from the world—and in a place like this, you naturally want …
Hike to Vošac with a dog: from Kotišina above the Makarska Riviera
Vošac (1421 m) is one of the most accessible peaks in the range above Makarska, yet in summer it can be brutally demanding – especially if you’re hiking with a dog. It’s one of the few clearly recognisable summits you …
Morne Diablotins: A climb to Dominica’s highest peak in the heart of the Caribbean

Driving from Narvik in northern Norway to Finland, we had a long stretch ahead and decided to break the journey with a short stop at Masugnsbyns naturreservat in northern Sweden. The goal was simple: let the dog stretch its legs …
Torre de Chochís: the rock tooth of eastern Bolivia
Bolivia isn’t just the Altiplano, its high plateaus, and snow-capped Andean peaks. In the east, the land softens into the warmer, greener, far flatter region known as the Chiquitania. Here, just outside the small town of Roboré in the Santa …
Veliko vrilo: A stop at the source of the Cetina River
On our way into Croatia, before boarding the ferry to the island of Dugi Otok, we made a quick early-morning stop at one of inland Croatia’s best-known natural sights. We were headed to the source of the Cetina River, specifically …
Savin Kuk: A Laid-Back Ascent with Ibo
After long drives on our Balkan road trip, we treated ourselves to a much quieter day. We set our sights on Savin Kuk (2313 m) in the Durmitor range—an ascent the map promised would be much easier thanks to a …
Harøyburet: small hill, big surprises
We hiked up Harøyburet (156 m above sea level) during our Norway road trip, as we crossed the Nordøyane islands. It wasn’t on the itinerary or meant to be a big hike—more of a spur-of-the-moment detour. After long hours in …
