Shannon Elizabeth is clearly head over heels for her adopted home. The American Pie actress took to Facebook over the weekend to rave about a five-hour morning hike in Cape Town, admitting she and her dog Cooper were absolutely done for by the time they made it back.
In her post, dated Saturday, 31 October 2026, Elizabeth described the outing as "such an incredible morning," though she was quick to confess the effort took its toll. Cooper, her canine companion, was so worn out that he gladly accepted a lift down the mountain from a fellow hiker. The two of them arrived home and, by her own account, had not moved since.
