Tucson Tails and Trails: Dog Friendly Hiking

A group for people interested in dog friendly hikes in southern Arizona. All hikers welcome! If you are bringing a dog, he/she must be well socialized with people and other dogs. Most of our hikes are moderate and best suited for intermediate hikers. Occasionally there are easy hikes for those new to hiking and difficult hikes for experienced hikers. Most of our hikes occur September-April.
Some basic information about hiking with Tails and Trails:
-If you have RSVPed "Yes" but are not able to attend a hike, please change your RSVP to "No" as soon as possible. The more notice you can provide the better but RSVPs should be changed no later than the night before. If you have an emergency the day of please send me a message. Members that abuse this policy will be removed. \

-You must be in control of your dog(s) at all times and they must be leashed when departing and approaching trailheads. Leashes should be a fixed length of 6' or less (if you use a retractable leash set it to a length of 6' or less). If you choose to unleash you dog(s) it must not disturb others.
-The most important equipment for our hikes is a small day pack to carry your water, dog bowl, snacks, first aid, etc. I prefer camelback backpacks but any small backpack will work. Hiking boots are also recommended.
-Bring 2-3 liters of water for yourself and an additional 1-2 liters of water for your dog(s). If you are not familiar with the amount of water you and your dog(s) need, err on the side of bringing extra.
-We hike as a group. No one gets left behind. So for the enjoyment of all, and so we do not worry about you, know your limitations on the trail as well as your pup. Keep us informed of anything that might interfere with your ability to complete the hike.
-If you leave the hike for any reason you MUST let someone else on the hike know!
-All hikes are done at your own risk.
