Book Description
From the popular Mountaineers Books series, Best Hikes With Dogs – this is the book that covers the southern section of the State of California. Southern California hikes selected to delight your dog (and you)
* many accessible from urban areas
* More than 60 dog-suitable trails, accessible from metro areas including Los Angeles, Palm Springs, San Diego, and Santa Barbara
* Most trails are lightly traveled; off-leash permitted on nearly half
* What to pack for your pooch on the trail
Allen Riedel and his canine trail companions, Chewbacca and Socrates, have hiked thousands of miles together in southern California to select the best dog-friendly, dog-fun, and dog-safe hikes in the region.
More than two-thirds of the hikes in Best Hikes With Dogs – San Diego are on lesser-known trails where travel is light and where you’re unlikely to meet horses, bicycles, or motorized vehicles. On nearly half of the trails, off-leash hiking is permitted. The hikes avoid steep, rocky terrain and many offer lakes or streams as a reward. Paw comfort rating (whether you’ll be walking on sand, dirt, or pavement) is clearly noted in the information block at the beginning of each hike description; potential dog hazards such as ticks or poison oak are described in the text.
A Trail Finder chart in the front of the book indicates trail length, which hikes include water, swimming, or shade, which are “good for senior dogs” or “best for fit dogs”. Click here for a pet friendly place to stay in California while you are exploring the state.
