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,…
( I’m still learning Word Press, so even tho this was published as a page before, I want to make it a post instead as it is easier to share, and also have a review category, so bear with me please.) I love my Barkboxes so much that whenever the delivery person comes, I jump around…
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…
Over Thanksgiving I had the chance to drive down to Palm Desert to visit Chico’s favorite playmate, Maggie the Boxer. Those two will play for hours on end, it’s like they are afraid to be the first to give in and lay down!!! The temperature which had been cool for The Deserts, shot up to…
Today we just went to The Albany Bulb since it’s close to home. Tho there are only a couple small trails here, it links up with the Bay Trail and there are many fun things for dogs–a large open field up top to play fetch, a rocky trail by the water, rocks to climb, and…
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…
