Tulare County stretches from the San Joaquin Valley floor into the towering Southern Sierra, making it the gateway for dog-friendly adventures near Sequoia and Kings Canyon National Parks. While dogs are limited to developed areas within the parks, the surrounding Sequoia National Forest offers miles of trails where leashed dogs can explore giant sequoia groves, mountain meadows, and rushing creeks.

The charming foothill town of Three Rivers serves as base camp, with dog-welcoming lodges, cabins, and riverside dining. In the valley, Visalia offers a walkable downtown with pet-friendly patios, craft breweries, and Mooney Grove Park for shaded strolls beneath massive valley oaks. From valley orchards to alpine wilderness, Tulare County delivers a dramatic range of landscapes for exploring with your dog.
