🐕 Blue Hills Reservation - JJ's First Big Hike Adventure! ⛰️
📍 Location: Just south of Boston (20 min drive) 📏 Stats: 3-mile Skyline Trail 800ft elevation ~2.5 hours Puppy's Peak Triumph! JJ (finally 1 year old & joint-ready!) aced his first challenging hike with flying colors! Though we underestimated the steep descents - watching our four-legged pro patiently wait for his clumsy humans was heart-melting 🥹 🐾 Trail Highlights: • Packed parking lot by 9AM - this 635ft "mountain" is a local favorite! • JJ's uphill enthusiasm vs. our downhill struggles = comedy gold 😂 • Teamwork win: Smart pup learned to match our snail pace instead of dragging us Must-Know for Dog Hikers: 🦮 Prep work: • Bring extra water (no streams on trail) • Ruffwear boots for sensitive paws • Training treats for recall practice 🌲 Why Dogs Love Blue Hills: • Sniff-tastic woodland trails • Fellow adventure pups everywhere • Bragging rights at the summit (JJ definitely told his dog park friends!) #HikingWithDogs #BostonTrails #PuppyAdventures #BlueHills #DogTraining #OutdoorDogs #NewEnglandHikes
