Ever done the Sidewinder & Ocotillo Trail Loop in Phoenix?
This trail is an easy loop and pretty flat but with pretty cacti and views of north Phoenix. Depending on the time of year, you'll get to see pretty wildflowers. Many mountain bikers like this trail since it's fairly flat and easy. The parking lot is huge so you won't have an issue getting parking. Be sure to bring a hat and plenty of water because it's not a shaded trail at all!

New Blog!! All about our favorite hiking trails in Arizona for beginners. Check it out!
Here’s one. This trail is a hidden gem and never very busy. It's a bit farther north in Phoenix so too far for many hikers. But since we live up this way, it's one of our favorites. It's clearly marked, has beautiful canyons, and at the end of the portion we do there's a creek. Dogs are allowed so we love to let Forester pounce around in the water to cool off before we turn around and head back to the car. It's an easy hike and just the right distance from the lot to the creek and back.
All Trails link and stats: 30.6mi point to point trail, but we always just do a short ~3mi portion out & back trail from the parking lot at Rock Springs. ⛰

The Palm Springs Air Museum is dog-friendly - surprise! Not many museums are, so we were quite delighted to hear that. It's a museum established in 1996 that spans four hangers. It is open everyday from 10am-5pm and we spent about 2 hours there. Adult admission is $20 and kids (and dogs) are free!
It was rated by CNN as one of the top 14 aviation museums in the world. We've been to the Pima Air & Space Museum in Tucson, AZ and honestly we thought that one was larger and had a lot more to see, but both were great. The staff at Palm Springs Air museum were extremely friendly, helpful, and such dog lovers so we felt comfortable there.
At this museum, you can begin with a video and then tour each hangar on your own. See planes, gliders, artifacts, and exhibits about WWII, the Korean War, and the Vietnam War.

This hike looks pretty cool right??
It will be a memorable one for us as it’s the first time we let Forster off leash - ever.
The Mission Creek Preserve Trail is slightly north of Palm Springs near the hot springs area. It's a 4.5/5 rated trail that is very easy.
There's a short dirt road drive to get to the fence and from there you're essentially walking on an unpaved road.
It's a fairly flat, straight, 3.2-mile out & back trail. This is perfect for those of you who are new to hiking...or maybe your puppy or dog is.
We went on a Wednesday so it was empty, leaving the trail to just use to soak up. The trail runs alongside a creek the whole time (but the creek was completely dried up while we were there).
The highlight of the trail is seeing the old buildings that have been converted into picnic areas surrounded by palm trees. It would be a nice spot for a post-hike picnic. We were told there's normally wildlife and birds to watch out for, but we didn't see much of that.
Tip: If it's a warm day, start early because it's not a shaded trail.

Our final night in Utah we stayed at the Zion Mountain Ranch.
We got a cabin for the night there and it was a wonderful property. You're surrounded by bison (apparently although we never got to see them), chickens, horses (momma horse just had a baby when we got there), and dogs!
The highlight of our stay here was meeting Rex, one of the owner's dogs. He's the farm dog protecting all the animals and roaming the property.
He was super friendly and Forester loved hanging out with him. After meeting Rex, Zach now wants to get a Great Pyronese dog someday and I'm not complaining. He was a chill, loving doggy.
We got food to-go from the restaurant on-site here so we could eat in the cabin with Forester. The food was amazing!! The restaurant itself looked lovely inside, but wasn't dog-friendly.
The cabin was really nice and spacious with a bench on the patio that was calling our name. The rest of the evening was spent enjoying some libations on the patio and talking about our future together - and the future is bright, my friends! ☀️

Our final full day in Utah was designated to a quick hike and then relaxing on a ranch later.
We drove to the Kodachrome Basin State Park which was dog-friendly (most state parks are more dog-friendly than national parks).
We hiked the Angel's Palace trail which is an easy 1.5mi hike with gorgeous views at the end.
⬇️Who else loves hiking with their dogs??

We wish we could have hiked down into Bryce canyon as it was absolutely gorgeous and so unique!
But with the dog, you can only walk around the paved trail up top. The Rim trail is only half mile long, but you can see all the way down into the canyon and it's well taken care of.
Just half a day is all you need here, unless you're going to do any of the hikes here.
Gorgeous views, right!?? certainly thought so.

Bryce Canyon National Park was enormous. ⛰
On your way there, you may pass thru Red Canyon which is stunning in itself.
Then for $35, you can enter this park and do a 36-mile scenic drive with lots of pull off points to check out.
There are lots of stop, but the ones we enjoyed were Agua canyon, Inspiration point, Natural bridge, Sunrise point, and Rainbow point.
All of these were dog-friendly in addition to the paved Rim Trail at the start of the drive. 🐾

While in Utah, went to the Sand Hollow State park which was a man-made, dog-friendly lake.
Forester had been to a lake only once before as a little puppy. So this was his first full lake experience.
The sand here is bright orange and so, so pretty! We packed a picnic and enjoyed frolicking in the water and playing fetch with him. He had a blast!!
You can rent kayaks and such there, but we enjoyed just running around.
Highly recommend visiting here! It’s stunning!

A little ways from Zion National park are the Gooseberry Lodges.
This was our second FAV highlight from the trip - simply staying at this cabin.
It was quaint and simple, but all we needed for a relaxing afternoon and evening.
Zach grilled up some food, we sat on the patio in the hammock, and we stared at the mountains out yonder (with some quality whiskey + wine in hand).
Sitting out on that patio with Forester all day was one of the most relaxing ways to unwind mid-trip and take in the surroundings.
We had quality time together as a family, without the extra frills or fancy meals. Just us, the cabin, and stunning views.
Yes, it was super dog-friendly and Forester met lots of other dogs while staying there. 🐾

The other trail we did in Zion was the Riverside trail which was an easy 1.9mi hike (that leads into Narrows).
It was really beautiful, shaded, and mostly along the River so you could take breaks in the water.
Loved it there!

Day two at Zion!
We parked at the visitor's center again and then hopped on the day shuttle so we could explore the north side of the park (only accessible by shuttle).
There are many stops along the shuttle ride, but several were closed due to being dangerous. So ultimately we got off about 3-4 stops.
The first hike we did was the Lower Emerald Pool trail which was an easy 1.4mi hike. So pretty with waterfalls and shaded!

Zion National Park is one of the most popular parks in the U.S. so we couldn't wait to visit!
We set 2 days at Zion: one with Forester and one without. Why? Because there's only one trail in Zion that allows dogs. So if you want to see more than that, you've got to leave the dog behind.
Day one in Zion we drove through the southern part of the park where the streets are open to the public. We proceeded to find parking near the visitor's center which was a challenge requiring a lot of patience. But once we got one, we went hiking!!
The only dog-friendly trail in Zion is called Pa'rus trail and it's basically a paved path that is flat and easy. It's 1.7mi each way or 3.4mi total round-trip. You can see views of some gorgeous mountain ranges, bridges, and the Virgin River. Loved it!

Coral Pink Sand Dunes State Park is gorgeous! The sand there is a dark coral orange color with rolling dunes as far as the eye can see.
I thought we'd spend half a day there, but clearly I've never spent time on sand dunes before. It was toughhhhhh...
We had packed a $29 sled from Amazon so we traversed the sandy dunes to our first hill and down I went! It was fun! So we upgraded and climbed up an even bigger hill - slowly. I went down that one and it was exhilarating! Forester even watched me and then ran down to catch me once I had made it to the bottom. The only problem? We had to climb back up that huge hill again. By that point, we were both exhausted and it didn't take much to convince Zach it was time to go.
Sand Dunes - 1.
Steph - 0.
It was fun and a pretty site to see, but too tiring. A few slides down was enough for us. They do offer ATV rentals there which would be super fun, but we opted out since we had Forester with us. Instead...we went drinking. 🍺

New blog is out about Utah!
Our first day there, we embarked on our first Utah hike!! Thank goodness it was a short and easy one, because Forester was super hot and out of breath. We later realized he had altitude sickness! But he was a trooper.
It's called the Toadstool Hoodoos and it's a 1.8mi roundtrip out-and-back trail through a sandy terrain. It ends at these really cool toadstool-looking rock formations!
Such a pretty treat for a short and easy hike. Stunning!

Two nights at a super pet-friendly hotel on Kanab, Utah with its own dog park?!? Yes please ✋🏻
The was a fantastic place to start our trip. We loved the dog bed & bowl provided, and especially the dog park! 🐾
