Meet the Pups

Our pack works as a team. We handle the lens, they define the journey.

Penny | Senior Trip Advisor

Breed: German Shepherd / Australian Kelpie Mix

Role: Quality Control

Speciality: Bouldering, navigating creeks & streams, and high-altitude napping

Bio: A seasoned veteran in hiking and adventure, Penny brings over a decade of mountaineering experience to the Southwest. As a Shepherd/Kelpie mix, her focus is unmatched, whether she's tracking a scent (deer) or ensuring the camp site is secure. She's the steady hear of Altitude Tails and the inspiration behind our "slow-travel" philosophy.

Amber | The Rookie

Breed: German Shepherd / Boxer Mix

Role: Enthusiasm Officer and Equipment Durability Tester

Speciality: High-speed pursuits and scent tracking

Bio: The newest recruit to our pack, Amber is a Shepherd/Boxer puppy comparable to an engine at redline. While she's learning trail etiquette, her curiosity is the driving forced behind our latest content.


Amber joined us via Rescue Me Tucson, an organization dedicated to finding homes for shelter dogs in Southern Arizona. As part our commitment to the community, a portion of all Altitude Tails proceeds go directly back to supporting their mission.
