About

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.

High altitude hiking with your dog requires careful monitoring for signs of fatigue, overheating, and dehydration, especially on strenuous trails like Strawberry Peak. Always ensure your canine companion is up to date on flea, tick, and parasite preventatives before hitting wooded trails. If you notice excessive panting, lagging behind, or reluctance to continue, stop immediately in a shaded area and offer cool water to safeguard your pets health.
