Dog Park Locations
1. Sunset Trail
The Sunset Trail in the Laguna Mountain Recreation Area is an easy, dog-friendly 3.25 mile hike that will take around 2 hours to complete with Petzooie. You can also do the 9.2 mile roundtrip out-and-back (connecting with the Big Laguna Trail). Parking is available on the shoulder on either side of Sunrise Highway (SR-1) near mile marker 19.1. Big Laguna is the place to go if you want to avoid the crowds and take your dog somewhere he can run off-leash. This hiker-only track is a terrific way to get a taste of this beautiful location, which is reminiscent of the Rocky Mountains.
2. Pioneer Mail Trail
Pioneer Mail Trail in Julian, California, is a dog-friendly 1.75-mile hike in Cleveland National Forest that takes around an hour to complete with Petzooie. A breathtaking panoramic vista awaits you at the end of this trail. Mountains stretch as far as the eye can see to the north and south, and Anza Borrego Desert State Park is 3000 feet below you. It is necessary to have an Adventure Pass.
