Ultimate List of Hiking Dog Names

According to Your Dictionary, a hike is defined as “to take a long outdoor walk, particularly through a nature area or up a mountain, or to pull up or raise something.”

Before we move on to the list of hiking dog names, I wanted to share with you two of my most favorite hiking quotes.

“Hiking is not escapism; it’s realism. The people who choose to spend time outdoors are not running away from anything; we are returning to where we belong.”

Jennifer Pharr Davis

In case you didn’t know, Jennifer Pharr Davis set a record for hiking the Appalachian Trail (all 2,185 miles of it) in just under 47 days.

If anyone should have a dog with a hiking name, it’s her!

“I go to nature to be soothed and healed, and to have my senses put in order.”

John Burroughs
