Last week, we wished you a happy holiday season and listed the first five top destination stories of 2023. Here is part two of that popular series. Once again, the DogTrekker team wishes you and your two- and four-legged loved ones a safe, fun, and barkingly good end to 2023. We will be back in the new year with fresh looks at some familiar places, plus new discoveries we’ve made across the dog-friendly map of California.

As we paw our way into 2024, we continue our journey of discovering the best dog-friendly destinations across California. Join us in exploring dog-friendly scenic trails, welcoming hotels, and delightful restaurants. We also look forward to seeing pictures of your pups playing in California’s vast outdoor playground as we bring back our popular “Go California” photo contest this year.

From all of us on the DogTrekker team, Happy New Year to you and yours.  

Nick’s Cove plans to rebuild the Boat Shack

Nick's Cove

For DogTrekkers familiar with Nick's Cove, located on Tamales Bay in West Marin County, the Boat Shack at the end of their 300 foot long pier has been an iconic and beloved feature. Sadly, a fire on January 7th of this year completely destroyed the Shack. Plans are now under way to rebuild.
