Nala and Ginger on a trail

"The trails around Idyllwild are great for dogs and their humans, too! Nala and Ginger enjoyed the Ernie Maxwell Trail and a small trail from the Indian Springs Lookout.Dog-friendly Idyllwild, CA

The restaurants are very dog friendly, most have patios for guests with dogs and some even have a doggie menu. We stayed at the Fireside Inn-Bluejay Cottage and it was great for the dogs; they even loaned out doggie blankets to keep the dogs warm.

Idyllwild is definitely dog-friendly. The Mayor, Max, is a Golden Retriever and we attended his birthday celebration in May!"

–Cheryl Jones, La Crescenta
