As you ascend toward the mountain peak, the trail gets rocky. But your sure-footed furry friend leads the way, and the challenge only makes it sweeter when you break through the canopy and see the view beyond.

You climb higher and higher until the trees finally fall away, revealing layer after layer of blue mountains stretching toward the horizon. Clouds drift overhead, their shadows moving slowly across the ridges below. Up here, the world feels enormous. Every cloud tells a dozen different stories, and as you watch them drift past, you feel like you've lived a dozen lifetimes in these moments.
