Details

EXPLORITORY! We never been here before, but we've been wanting to go for a long time. Here is the All Trails information: https://www.alltrails.com/trail/us/california/big-trees-nature-trail

Explore the northern most grove of Sequoia Redwoods just outside of Foresthill. There is an .8 mile loop nature trail to see the main part of the grove, and All Trails also shows an outer loop trail about a mile long called Forest View trail. We will start with the nature trail and see how Buddy does from there.

It will be dogs on leash for the nature trail and we will see about the Forest View trail when we get there. You can extend the hike be doing multiple loops.

We hike off leash as much as possible. We leash the dogs when needed for other dogs and some people. You must have voice control over your dog if you allow it off leash. You are responsible for any fines/repercussions for your dog being off leash. (We have never had an issue.)
Please arrive 15 minutes early to get your gear ready to hike. We will only wait 5 minutes for latecomers. If late, you will probably be able to catch up with us easily. We start out slow, picking up after pooping dogs and photographers taking photos.
Bring: A leash, poop bags, water and lunch for you and your dog, bug spray and sunscreen.
RSVP: For the number of Dogs not people.
2 people & one dog = 1 (+0)
2 dogs and one person = 2 (+1)
Last minute cancellations are frowned upon. Please cancel at least 24, preferably 48 hours in advance, especially if there are dogs on the wait list.
If you need to cancel because of a last minute emergency, please do so before 7 am the day of the hike. Otherwise we won't get notification. If you are lost or late, call or text 916-307-8743. Hopefully I will have cell service.
