Summiting the Hills: Shiro's First Mountain Trip
“Hiking at 7,000 feet with a 2-year-old dog. What we packed and how Shiro handled the thin mountain air.”
“The air in the mountains is crisp, thin, and smells of pine. For Shiro, who grew up smelling sea-salt and car exhaust, it was like his nose had finally been upgraded to 4K. He stood at the edge of the balcony in Manali, nostrils twitching, looking like he'd finally found home.”
The Shiro Solution
What actually worked
- Frequent break stops every 3 hours to prevent car sickness and allow for leg stretches.
- Paw wax for protection against sharp rocks and a collapsible water bowl for frequent trail hydration.
- A high-quality car safety harness to ensure he didn't slide during sharp mountain turns.
