Road trips

California dog-friendly road trips

There’s something sacred about the open road—especially with a dog riding shotgun. Windows down, ears flapping, that nose pressed to the wind like it’s decoding the world. Every stop is an adventure: new smells, strange squirrels, a patch of grass with a story to tell. You don’t need a destination, just a sense of freedom and the right playlist.

A neatly-placed trash bin aids in maintaining the park's cleanliness for everyone's enjoyment.
