Can't wait to go hiking with my dogs!

This book is amazing!! I've looked all over to find places to take my dogs hiking and this book made it so much easier. Now I can take my dogs on vacation with me and know exactly where they can go on trails and where they aren't allowed. Must buy for Hikers with dogs!

Hiking can be a fine pastime, and it can be even more so when done with man's best friend

Hiking can be a fine pastime, and it can be even more so when done with man's best friend.

The hikes outlined are dog friendly, and give plenty of tips on caring for the pooch and preparing for the hikes so they are safe and therefore fun for both dog and master. A great gift for Californian dog lovers, "Best Hikes with Dogs: Central California" would do well to find itself in Californian community library pet collections.
