Peakbagging Peakbagging is a great activity practiced in combination with hiking or climbing. It has become so popular that there are dozens of organizations dedicated to nailing the summits of different sets of mountains. Whether it's the highpoints of each state in the Union, the fourteen highest peaks in Colorado, or the highest hills in Rhode Island, there's probably someone keeping a list of each one he or she has topped. The next question is, "ok, so can I take my dogs?" The answer is a qualified "yes," as it is with most other hiking destinations in the US. America's Roof and the Highpointers Club, which focus on the US highpoints, have a great canine resource at "America's Woof." Roger Rowlett has compiled a list of the state highpoints along with the dog-accessibility considerations for problem ones. Regulations aren't the only impediments to dogs summiting some of the US highpoints. Safety issues may keep many others off the top. Roger addresses dog hiker etiquette as well as a collection of Highpointing Dogs photos at America's Woof. Colorado Fourteeners -- Steve Bremner & his Traildog, Sam, have done with a great job on their site about Colorado's peaks that exceed 14,000 feet in elevation. Steve has included a list of the peaks that each of them have done, and added a narrative and photos about how they did it.
