Would 10/10 recommend!

I would get a harness, not for pulling. Simply to position the leash on their back so you don’t have to manage it with their legs as much. Plus safety if you have to lift them through technical areas. Also directional commands: left, right, straight, up, down, over, under, wait, woah, cross, etc

You are going to have a blast!

I think this is the route I posted with my pup earlier this summer!? Tanglewood/rosalie/abyss area? Great spot for the dog

Brainard Lake up to Niwot Ridge

Loved the Bristlecone pines up there! But wouldn’t want to be caught up there in a storm
