For dog owners it is important to realize that not all parks are open to our four-legged friends. it is sometimes hard for dog owners to believe but not everyone loves dogs. We are, in fact, in the minority when compared with our non-dog-owning neighbors. As such, rules can change rapidly to ban dogs from even more of our public parks. It doesn't take a referendum or a ballot count for "NO DOGS" signs to appear overnight.
So make sure your dog is a good citizen on the trail - don't bother other hikers and pick up after him - and you will be embarking on a passion that will last a lifetime.
Get fit - grab a leash and hit the trail!

Welcome to our off season. Bad weather happens, but i try not to let it stop us. Dangerous conditions, however, will cause me to cancel completely or change what we do. Please check in the morning of the event to see what is happening. Arm yourself for winter weather. Please keep your RSVP up to date - even if you are on the waiting list.
Planning a series of hikes at Cougar Mountain. Starting at different trailheads so routes will vary in distance and difficulty. Read each one carefully to assess if it is right for you and your dog.Let's start at the Sky Country Trailhead and find some waterfalls. i mapped out the Coal Creek Falls, but i think there is another one we should be able to add on to this. Come exploring with me.
