For sure. On multiple occasions I've gotten myself up early to go hiking and arrived at the trail head for my dog to start acting squirrelly or an unexpected rain shower to make that one rocky section slick and dangerous. It sucks, but I'd rather pivot than put us in an unsafe situation

Yeah, one time I was hiking Mt Moosilauke and had to turn around 75% of the way to the top cuz of lightning. No way I want to be above tree line for that

My dog got an ice burr between his toes so I turned back right before treeline. Super frustrating...but the mountain isn't going anywhere....
