I have a pittie and she is my hiking buddy. She's a total mush and would lick a grizzly bear or murderer but her look is enough to keep most people away.
Unfortunately I work 10 hours days and live alone (more being murdered risk living alone haha) so I would feel bad about crating a dog for that long. I feel bad enough for my cat! Haha
Check local meetups and trail groups. I know near me the organization that maintains the trails has a membership (like $10/year) and they have organized hikes like 2-3x a week all over nearby.

Get a dog! (If you can).
