Good for dogs

Castle Peak, Basin Peak, Warren Lake
I did a fun loop of two peaks and an alpine lake near Truckee, in the north Tahoe area
Basin Mountain
After staring at this peak all winter while bouldering at the Buttermilks, we reverse the roles and get a view of the Peabodies from 6000ft above. Good for dogs!
Bloody Mountain (12,552 ft)
A Mammoth skyline classic! good for dogs.
Crystal Crag is tough for dogs
Mica tackles the iconic Mammoth feature and confirms it is definitely no less than a class 3 scramble to the top
North Peak (12,242ft)
A fun class 2 hike with views of Yosemite and beyond, great for cross-country beginners and expert dingos!
Mount Julius Caesar
Straight out of Denali, Yelly takes Mica on a 20 mile, 6100ft dayhike!
Mount Davis (12,303 ft)
Foiled by wildfire smoke from starting our backpacking trip, we accidentally agreed to a 27-mile car-to-car ascent of an obscure peak behind Ritter & Banner!
Mount Warren with Yelly
Yelly and Mica's day in the mountain
Hail on Red Slate Mountain
Mica's longest day yet, a scenic 20 miles through Sierra highcountry with snow-tumbling and stream-crossing.

I cannot blog, because I am a dog. But if I could, this is what I would say about my first peakbagging adventure.
