It is heartbreaking to have post something like this, I just can’t imagine…And according to some message boards and neighborhood groups, the jogger has attacked dogs before, but nothing can be done, he says he felt threatened. The 15 pound pug was running back to it’s owner and he went out of the way to…
This wonderful 3.5 mile off leash loop can easily be extended in several different spots. It also has water and restroom access, tho you should always bring your own water in case it is shut off. For Chico, depending on length of hike or pack balancing, I use different sizes of Gulpy Water Dispenser for Pet,…
There is an Algae outbreak in Lake Chabot which has killed 3 dogs, 1 dog died at Clear lake last year, and Lake Temescal was closed to the public for an outbreak last year. In all the research I did about trail safety with dogs, Algae was never mentioned yet so many trails intersect with…
The murders of David Robert Ruenzel on a trail in the East Bay Regional Park Huckleberry Botanic Regional Preserve around Thanksgiving last year, and of Luis Doctolero Fernando Perez on a trail in Vallejo’s Hanns Park around Christmas last year, as well as some muggings around Tilden and Grizzly Peak Blvd, left me looking for even…

You can see fantastic views of the Bay, The Golden Gate Bridge, The San Francisco Skyline, Mount Tamalpais, and the…

We did a short hike today at Sibley Volcanic Regional Preserve to check out the All Trails and Mapmyhike apps. I tried to get some good photos of the volcanic ruins, but they just didn’t photograph well. Chico was obsessed with looking over the edge of the cliff, while I’m kinda afraid of heights:) This…
This shot is taken on the actual trail of Tres Sendas today. The loop is mostly shady, West Ridge trail is off leash, wide and flat, with easy up hills/downgrades. Tres Sendas is off leash, mostly all down hill, and pretty steep at points with boulders, tree roots, and crevices..Stream Trail is on leash, wide…
I was under the weather yesterday but hit the trail with Chico and a friend anyway, and it made me feel better! We did a 5 mile loop in Redwood Regional Nor Cal, Bay Area. The loop was East Ridge Trail/Prince Road/ Stream Trail. East Ridge is easy and off leash if you choose, and…
