Hikes/parks - DogTrekker

Dogs love a good hike, whether it’s through the forest, along the coast, or up a mountain trail. Here are some top dog-friendly parks and hikes across California:

Northern California:

Redwood National and State Parks (Trinidad): Enjoy towering redwoods with dog-friendly trails and campgrounds.
Lassen Volcanic National Park (Mineral): Leashed dogs are welcome on trails around Manzanita Lake.

Southern California:

Runyon Canyon Park (Los Angeles): Popular for off-leash areas and views of the Hollywood Sign.
Griffith Park (Los Angeles): Explore dog-friendly trails leading up to the Griffith Observatory.

Tips for hiking with your dog:

Leash Up: Keep your dog on a leash unless off-leash areas are marked.
Pack Essentials: Water, treats, and waste bags are a must.
