What we’re about
This group is all about hiking with dogs! We mostly hike in the Sacramento foothills or high sierra east of Sac. We try to find places where the dogs can be off-leash responsibly. We limit the number of dogs that are allowed to join to keep the energy levels manageable and to make it easier to be off leash. We are not a fast paced hiking group. We take our time, enjoy the view, take pictures, chat and generally have a good time!
We do not allow dogs with prong collars or shock collars to attend our hikes.
We also do not allow dogs that are unaltered. All dogs must be spayed/neutered.
All hikers must clean up after their dog, pack it in-pack it out.

Cronan Ranch - 4-5 miles
Cronan Ranch, Regional Trails Park, Pilot Hill, CA, USDescription: Cronan Ranch is a meandering trail through open hills and oak trees. I am planning to take the east ridge to the water, then go back up the middle. It is a 50% chance of rain right now, but I will still hike in light rain so bring a raincoat and/or umbrella and a rain jacket for your dog if needed.
09:30am start. Please arrive by 09:15 and be ready to hike at 09:30. Keep your dogs leashed from your car until we get up the hill and away from people. Do not let your leashed dog go nose to nose with another dog on leash. Keep them separated until we start walking and let them off leash.
RSVP based on the number of dogs. If you are bringing 1 dog, RSVP for your dog & 0 guests. If you have 2 dogs, RSVP +1. If you want to bring more than 2 dogs you will need to message the hike leader ahead of time.
If you need to change your RSVP from yes to no, please do so as soon as possible to allow others to attend. We will not wait for anyone who is late so plan your travel time accordingly.
