We organize fun and adventurous outings for dogs and their owners in the San Francisco Bay Area. Currently most of our hikes are in the South Bay Area. We occasionally offer walks in the afternoon and/or evenings and training sessions with a dog trainer. Our sponsors are businesses that offer their free time to organize hikes, walks and other fun outings for you and your dog. We are solely run by volunteers. We will also post other dog related events as a courtesy.   Happy Hiking!      

I love Pugs and believe they are most "fun" and "funny" of any dog breed. Every day my Pugs make me laugh with something they do. I noticed that there are many Pug parents in the Santa Cruz area and thought it would be great to start a local group. I have one year old Pugs, Bella (a fawn) and Lola (black). I also have twin 11 year old boys. Everything comes in twos in our home... I look forward to meeting up with other Pug Parents and their Pugs at locations that will be safe and fun.

This is a group for fit hikers. While the trails aren't dangerous, they are usually very steep. Trail shoes of some sort will make your hike easier, though hiking boots aren't typically needed. Ideally our hikes will be 1 1/2 - 3 hours long, including significant elevation gain. Ideally at least 1500'+, and be 5-11 miles long. We will hike to the summit, then where possible, and if you want to, run part or all the way back out. Everyone goes at their own pace, we don't wait for slower hikers* …
