Lower Sam Merrill Trail

Mount Lowe Railroad Trail is one of 1600 rail-trails supported by Rails-to-Trails Conservancy, a nonprofit organization dedicated to creating a statewide network of trails from abandoned rail lines and connecting corridors. This "rail-trail," which was once an abandoned railroad line, is now a terrific spot to walk Petzooie in Altadena!

At the base of the San Gabriel Mountains, Eaton Canyon Natural Area Park and Nature Center is a natural preserve. Hiking through this well-located public park will reward you with the sight of a lovely waterfall. On-leash pets are accepted.

Strawberry Peak Trail is a 6 mile moderately challenging hike in the Angeles National Forest that takes around 3 hours with Petzooie to accomplish. Because it is the tallest peak in the San Gabriels, at 6164 feet, this trek might be crowded. This is a fantastic winter hike, although it may be extremely hot in the summer. This trail is also open to dogs, although they must be kept on a leash.

Big Horn Mine Walk is a 3.9-mile out-and-back trail with a river that is suitable for hikers of all abilities. The trail is best used from March to October and is mostly used for hiking, running, nature visits, and bird viewing. This trail is also open to dogs, although they must be kept on a leash. This is an unmarked footpath that may be discovered near the closed road below the Mount Baden-Powell/PCT path. All the way to the mine, the trail follows an old mining road.

Alice's Dog Park is located on East Orange Grove, a few blocks east of Sierra Madre Blvd., and is part of Via Vieja Park. It has a grassy space for large dogs of 212 acres and a grassy area for small and special-needs dogs of one acre. Both areas feature double-gated entrances, countered hills, trees, benches, water, and plenty of room for your greatest friend to run and play. It's open every day from sunrise to sunset, except Tuesdays when it's closed for maintenance.

For your pet's enjoyment, Alice's Dog Park at Vina Vieja Park offers 2.5 acres of herbicide-free grassland. It is open from sunrise to sunset. The only conditions are that the dogs be current on their vaccinations and have a current license. It is also the responsibility of the owner to clean up after their dog. Water stations for humans and dogs, pop bag dispensers, shade trees, seats, tiny mounds, separate spaces for large and little dogs, and a 52-spot parking lot are among the amenities.
