Pro Tips

  • Check the trail's leash policy before you go — some trails require leashes at all times.
  • Start with short hikes and gradually increase distance for puppies and senior dogs.
  • Avoid hiking during peak heat (10am-4pm in summer). Touch the pavement — if it's too hot for your hand, it's too hot for paws.
  • Always yield to other hikers and keep your dog close on narrow trails.
