Craving a little adventure? Maybe needing to get away from the daily grind but you don't have the time for a true vacation? Or, are you just tired of you and dog going on the same ol' walk around the neighborhood?

Visit the Great Outdoors that is within our metropolitan area!

Seriously, there are loads of places to go and things to do that are within our area and of course, you can take your hound too! Some are little hidden gems and others are a short drive away, but all accept your dog.

Are you looking for something educational for you and the family? We've got that! Are you wanting to commune with nature? You're covered. And we have a few surprises in between.

As always, we're loyal to you as your dog is. We have reviews and photos of the ones that we've visited so you'll know the inside scoop.

And, no matter if you are a die-hard trail walker or a green foot, it is a nice to brush up on the etiquette rules for taking your dog out and about.
