What we’re about
https://www.meetup.com/north-end-hikes-and-walks-with-dogs/pages/Terms_of_Membership_Agreement/
For dog owners it is important to realize that not all parks are open to our four-legged friends. it is sometimes hard for dog owners to believe but not everyone loves dogs. We are, in fact, in the minority when compared with our non-dog-owning neighbors. As such, rules can change rapidly to ban dogs from even more of our public parks. It doesn't take a referendum or a ballot count for "NO DOGS" signs to appear overnight.
So make sure your dog is a good citizen on the trail - don't bother other hikers and pick up after him - and you will be embarking on a passion that will last a lifetime.
Get fit - grab a leash and hit the trail!

See all- Saturday Morning Hike - Scherrer Road Trail, Granite Falls, WAMcDonald's, Granite Falls, WA
Summer walks and hikes are starting earlier to beat the heat and the crowds. At this time of year, remember sun screen, water for yourself and dogs, as well, bug spray is a good idea. Never plan to leave your dog in the car while you run errands before/after or stop for lunch.
There is not a lot of info on this hike so i will link to my YouTube video of when i did it earlier this year. It is a gated road evolving into a trail along the Pilchuck River. Lightly travelled and peaceful. Fairly flat, gentle incline. With a nice river access beach about 2.5 miles along. Wear a good trail shoe.
