The 6-mile Tahquitz Peak Fire Lookout trek is tough, but dog-friendly, and will take Petzooie around 4 hours to finish. This trail to Tahquitz Peak is less traveled and more dog-friendly than the other. Because this route passes through the San Jacinto Wilderness, leash regulations apply. Depending on where you start your hike, you'll need a wilderness ticket or an Adventure Pass.

Gum Grove Park is a ten-acre oasis that is one of the area's largest and greatest dog parks. It is completely enclosed, with water and dog bags available at the Avalon entrance. There are two parking spaces for park visitors: the main entrance is on Avalon, and the second, smaller entry is off of Seal Beach Blvd on Herone Pointe. This park features an old closed main road running through it at the bottom, as well as many great trails branching off on the sloping hill above. The Hellman Trail, which is about a quarter mile north of the trailhead, is well worth a trek. Keep your dog on a leash at all times, as municipal leash rules are always in effect.
