Palisades Tahoe Aerial Tram

Shirley Canyon Trail is dog-friendly and regarded as one of Lake Tahoe's top half-day walks. This 3.6-mile trip takes dogs and their owners past waterfalls, granite rocks, and vistas of Squaw Valley. Because the Shirley Canyon Trail is tough to navigate, owners are advised to wear hiking boots. "Keep the creek on your right and follow it up for about 2.5 miles until you come to enormous granite rock slabs; you will cross this part and continue up to Shirley Lake," hikers should remember. The official website has information on how to get to the trailhead, parking, hiking suggestions, and where dogs are not allowed in Squaw Valley. When riding the AerialTram, dogs must be leashed; however, owners should use their best judgment when deciding whether or not to leash their dogs on the route.

This is a pet-friendly neighborhood. Water bowls can be found around the shopping area, as well as several pet-friendly eateries.

Rails-to-Trails Conservancy, a nonprofit organization working to establish a nationwide network of trails from former rail lines and linking corridors, supports the Truckee River Bike Trail, which is one of 1600 rail-trails supported by the group. This "rail-trail," which was once an abandoned railroad track, is now a terrific spot to walk Petzooie in Tahoe City! A parking lot with easy access to the Truckee River Bike Trail is shown on the map below.

Dogs of all sizes are allowed to join you on the more than 8 kilometers of ski trails at Tahoe Cross Country. Although skijoring is not permitted on the trails, Petzooie can cross-country ski beside you and enjoy the snow. Although leashes are required at the parking lot and at the trailhead, your dog can enjoy the trail without one as long as he remains under your voice control.
