Checking out this post has made us realize a cold, hard truth: Aspen the Dog is leading a much more adventurous lifestyle than all of us combined. Aspen spends his time hiking, kayaking, and sledding with his humans, enjoying the mountains, forests, and gorgeous lakes of the Canadian countryside. In an effort to inspire you to be more adventurous, Aspen has photos of his journeys on social media — and they’re enough to give us some serious outdoor-envy. Check out the photos of Aspen’s adventures below, and perhaps allow this adventurous dog to inspire you to get out there and enjoy the world, a little bit more.
**Seriously: This is the face of a pup that’s got it all figured out.**
We climbed a glacier this week, and it was really really cold up there. I was well prepared though, especially with these slick shades from my amigos over at @stevenalan. To all my Denver peeps, and friends that have been wanting a bear hug from me, come meet me this Friday from 12-6pm at @armitageandmcmillan, for the @stevenalan trunk show! Hope to see you there ?. #SAOptical Photo: @hunter_lawrence A photo posted by Aspen the Mountain Pup (@aspenthemountainpup) on Jan 14, 2016 at 9:03am PST

I woke up too 3 inches of fresh snow here in Denver! Taking a morning stroll to the park to go enjoy it. ?: @hunter_lawrence A photo posted by Aspen the Mountain Pup (@aspenthemountainpup) on Nov 11, 2015 at 8:15am PST
**There’s basically nothing he won’t try — even if it means going on a little water adventure.**

No big deal, just lounging on a frozen lake. How are you starting off your Monday? Photo: @hunter_lawrence A photo posted by Aspen the Mountain Pup (@aspenthemountainpup) on Dec 7, 2015 at 9:45am PST

Winter is here…I’m dressed and ready. What are some brands you think I should work with? Tag them below! Also, does anyone have experience with flying with dogs my size? I’m ready to go somewhere new! Where should I go? Photo: @hunter_lawrence A photo posted by Aspen the Mountain Pup (@aspenthemountainpup) on Dec 10, 2015 at 12:33pm PST
Hey mom and dad, that lake sort of looks like me! ?: @sarah_michelle_lawrence A photo posted by Aspen the Mountain Pup (@aspenthemountainpup) on Nov 5, 2015 at 8:52am PST
**Aspen’s social media account is also an awesome look at the wild, amazingly beautiful places of the world that only the most adventurous get to see.**
Aspen hanging out in the Aspens, how convenient. Farewell fall! ?: @hunter_lawrence A photo posted by Aspen the Mountain Pup (@aspenthemountainpup) on Oct 30, 2015 at 9:27am PDT
