Dozer
Meet Dozer, our beloved trail companion and protector. Known as “the dude that does it all,” Dozer has been a steadfast presence on our adventures, originally serving as the sole gentleman on our women-only trips. Over the years, he has proven to be an invaluable asset, saving us from bears, aiding in tracking, and ensuring our safety on the trails.
At nearly 12 years old, Dozer carries a lifetime of knowledge, having explored peaks that many may never reach. Despite his age, he still brings the exuberance of a puppy whenever he sees his backpack or hears the familiar jingle of his bells. Although he’s officially a retired dog, you may still spot him on the easier trails, ready to share his wisdom and love for the outdoors with all who join us.
With Dozer by our side, every adventure is not just a journey through nature, but also a heartwarming experience filled with loyalty and companionship.
When you have a team like this, anything is possible!
