A day in the snow

By: DogTrekker Staff

A vibrant dog park bathed in sunlight features abundant greenery with mature trees, offering ample shade for leisurely outdoor activities. In the distance is a well-equipped playground that presents an additional activity area. An inviting picnic table spreads out nearby, ideal for enjoying meals al fresco or taking relaxing breaks from play. A neatly-placed trash bin aids in maintaining the park's cleanliness for everyone's enjoyment. Dominating the scene is a generously wide dirt path gracefully curving through the expanse of grass, promising exploratory walks and lively fetch games.

"I live in Shasta County, outside Lassen National Forest. This is my 12-year-old lab Shasta enjoying a day in the snow. There are so many places to play with your family up here for snowmobiles, jeeps and snowshoeing. You can also drive north to Mount Shasta and play some more. Most of the area is very dog-friendly."
