Spring is around the corner at least that’s what old Punxsutawney Phil says. Winter is fun and obviously Alaskan Malamutes love the snow and cold weather, but isn’t it great when you can reach the tops of the mountains again? We love hiking, backpacking, and camping with our malamutes. Spring means summer is right around the corner bringing access to all our favorite locations that have been untouched for months.

Nothing beats a getting up in the mountains and hiking with our malamutes. Hiking trails or cross country are both great ways to enjoy time with your dogs and get some great exercise doing it. Not only do you get a workout you have the opportunity to get off the beaten path and explore new areas. On most of my greatest adventures in the mountains I was accompanied by at least one furry companion.

There are many great ways to enjoy time with you dogs, but summer sure does openup some. We are excited to get back outside and take the mals camping and on hikes summer brings so much fun we can’t wait!!
