"They look like they are having the time of their lives."If you hike with dogs chances are you have heard sentiments like that from other trail users when they see your happy trail dogs. Dogs are happy on any trail but they become espe- cially excited on new trails. New scents to sniff. New sounds to hear. New sights to see.Every year an estimated 15 million people travel with their dogs. But our best trail companions are not always wel- come where we most want to go. National parks ban dogs from trails for the most part and more than half of America's 1,500+ public beaches don't allow dogs. But let's not dwell on the negative - our dogs will not allow it.Are these the 300 best hikes in America you can take with your dog? While there are many, many hikes described in this book that are on "best lists" and "must-do lists" and "bucket lists" the goal here is to emphasize the rich variety of hiking experiences that await you and your dog. There are canine hikes dusted in history, canine hikes to unusual destinations, and canine hikes that are notable just because. There is a mix of leg-stretchers and hikes requiring a full day on the trail.All the day hikes are in the continental United States that can be reached by driving. The selected hikes are spread throughout regions so that you are never far from a special outing with your dog.How do I use this book? The 300 day hikes are broken into 14 different regions of the country. In each section the trails are presented alphabetically by the park involved. In the index are all the parks, alphabetized by state.4Before each hike description is a symbol. They represent: *The hike is rated for difficulty; either E, M, or S. There is also a time estimate of the duration of the hike. Easy hikes and strenuous hikes explain themselves. Moderate hikes typically involve either several hours of relatively easy hiking or a short period of lung-busting effort that doesn't last long enough to be rated as strenuous. The time estimates can help distinguish the character of a moderate hike.*The availability of a campground in the park or near the trailhead is indicated. This does not refer to primitive camping which may sometimes be available. These are day hikes.*The swimmer indicates the chance for your dog to have a swim on the hike. While this is usually full dog-pad- dling it may only be splashing for larger dogs.*The dollar sign will tell you if an admission fee is required to take this canine hike.*If a hike has a jeep symbol it means that at least part of the trip to the trailhead will be on unpaved roads. All of the canine hikes in this book can be reached by low-clearance, two-wheel drive cars

As an active dog owner you know the scenario when you are travelling. You read about an exciting trail enthusiastically described in a guidebook and, with great anticipation, you head there only to discover: NO DOGS ALLOWED.When we travel, we want our dogs with us. To hike with our dogs we can always head for a remote forest but while on the road we want to see the continentÕs natural wonders as well. Cruden Bay BookÕs newest title, THE CANINE HIKER'S BIBLE, seeks not only to identify those sensational trails open to canine hikers but to find dog-friendly walks nearNorth AmericaÕs most popular destinations.Your dog can't trot among the giant saguaro cacti in Arizona's Saguaro National Park but he can hike past the stately sentinels of the desert on the Canyon Loop at nearby Catalina State Park. Dogs will never be able to walk under the greatest collection of natural bridges on earth at Utah's Arches National Park but just down the road dogs are welcome on the Negro Bill Canyon Trail in the Colorado River National Recreation Area that leads to the sixth longest stone arch in the United States. Your dog will never look 1000 feet straight down at the confluence of the Green and Colorado rivers in Canyonlands National Park but next door in Dead Horse Point State Park she can look down 1500 feet into the canyon at the Colorado River below. Inside THE CANINE HIKER'S BIBLE you will find:* Detailed descriptions of more than 225 parks and trails across the United States and Canada - all written with your best friend in mind * Rules for dogs in 102 of the most-visited national lands in the United States * Rules for state and provincial parks* Rules for dogs at over 1300 beaches and 500+ beach towns* Outfitting Your Dog For A Hike, A Canine Hikers Watch List, Canine Hiking In The Desert, Canine Hiking At Altitude, Low Impact Hiking With Your Dog ...and much more

Dogs and parks. Wed two of our favorite things together and you have the makings of a perfect day, right? Except at America's national parks. Save for a few exceptions, dogs are never allowed on national park trails and rarely permitted beyond a campground or picnic area. There is an old saying that goes, "Start explaining and you've lost the argument." The National Park Service goes to great lengths to explain their reasons for banning dogs outside of vehicles. Dogs endanger wildlife. Dogs interfere with people's enjoyment of the park. Dogs ruin the pristine environment. Dogs can introduce diseases that could decimate wild populations. Some parks cite the fact that just the scent of dogs will make prey animals frantic (at least that will keep the jittery critters out of campgrounds and picnics where apparently their wellbeing is not as big a concern). Some park officials go so far as to imply that they are doing dog owners a favor by keeping dogs out of the woods since they may become prey themselves. One park's regulations read thusly: "There is a strong possibility that your pet could become prey for a bear, coyote, owl, or other predator." What is a "strong possibility?" Better than 50%? 20%? Really? Any talk of the probability of a leashed dog on a trail being eaten by a wild animal that goes beyond "vanishingly small probability" is absurd. Tellingly, the national parks in Canada - which also receive millions of visitors each year and also protect wildlife - allow dogs on their trails almost without exception. And in the United States the prohibition against dogs on national park trails is not a universal edict. Individual parks are allowed to make their own rules regarding dogs. A handful have decided to allow dogs on the trails, the chance of man's best friend becoming some other animal's dinner be damned. Some have even become more lenient in recent years. Petrified Forest National Park used to allow dogs only on a few nature trails. Now the park declares: "Petrified Forest is a very pet friendly national park! Please take your furry friends on trails, even backpacking in the wilderness area." This is not a book about whether rules regarding dogs in national parks are right or wrong. It is about how dog owners - given the current restrictive playing field - can experience our national parks, take along their best trail companions, and still have their dream vacation. For each park, if dogs are not allowed on the trails, a nearby substitute is identified and described (dogs are usually welcome in national forests, for example. The burden on people and wildlife caused by dogs and a patronizing concern for a dog's well-being apparently cause less government worry in those woods). Only those national parks which can be reached by automobile are included. So with that in mind - grab a leash and hit the trail!
