Your dog doesn't need to be off-leash to experience the joy of the mountains.

Take it from Summit: She's climbed a dozen 13ers, all leashed, and enjoyed every moment.

On the other hand, it lets me climb without worrying about her dashing off a cliff or chasing marmots and pikas.

Leashes are a win-win for everyone!

Today I am thankful for the mountains, public lands, and all those who help keep them safe, sustainable, and accessible to the public.

Happy Thanksgiving from The Next Summit! Best wishes to you all.
