Airedale Terrier Hike 360

Insta360 One X Airedale Terrier Hike 360

This video is made using my new Insta360 One X camera. The video was shot at Cowles Mountain (the highest point in the city of San Diego) approaching the summit by coming up the Barker Way trail.

I tried to get my Airedale Terrier, Annie out for this hike about five days a week.  She really looks forward to it, enjoyed the exercise meeting new people and other dogs as well as occasionally seeing some San Diego wildlife. Because it can get pretty warm here in San Diego we usually do this hike late in the afternoon, and if it’s time just right, we can get up at the summit in time for a sunset over the Pacific Ocean Read more

Cowles Mountain – San Diego Airedale Hike

Last week, after an almost three-month maternity leave, Annie and I started back on our hikes up Cowles Mountain, here in San Diego.

Cowles Mountain, at 1,591 feet is the highest point within the city of San Diego. Of the three main trails that go up to the top, I prefer the Barker Way trail, which some people refer to as the back side trail. Read more

Airedale Terrier Hiking

Airedale Terrier Hiking

Some time ago I read a piece about Airedale terriers where the author said that there’s nothing that makes an Airedale happier than going on a walk of 45 minutes or so. Now, personally, I think that perhaps running around with a couple of other Airedales on an acre or two of property would be something that would make an Airedale really happy.

But it’s certainly true, at least with the Airedales that I’ve had, they all love to go out on hikes here in San Diego. I usually wait until about 90 minutes before sunset before doing a strenuous hike by going up Cowles’s mountain. I found that the Airedales, are very sensitive to hot weather, and so I go up the east side of the mountain before sunset (and naturally carry a lot of water for the dogs to drink) so they don’t get overheated or heat exhaustion.

Airedales are pretty stoic, and I think they would try to stay up with their human companion, rather than stop and cool down. So, always bring water for them and never hike in the hottest part of the day.

When Mabel’s brother Barnaby left and she was all alone (naturally Annie was still here), you could tell right away that she was sad. After all, she had eight other siblings to play with, and then before she knew it, it was just her and her brother. Read more

When Barnaby leaves, we will only have his sister Mabel for about a week. It is sure getting quiet around here!

He is swift, formidable, graceful, big of brain, an ideal chum and guard. ….To his master he is an adoring pal. To marauders he is a destructive lightning bolt.”
