Have you ever considered how far you walk with your dog? If you walk just 15 minutes a day you will have walked far enough in your dog's lifetime to cross the United States. With all that walking ahead of you, aren't you ready for a new place to take a hike?
This new book seeks to help you flush out those great hiking spots for your dog. DOGGIN' THE BERKSHIRES: THE 33 BEST PLACES TO HIKE WITH YOUR DOG IN WESTERN MASSACHUSETTS explores the area's top trails with your best friend in mind...
- Where can your dog hike in what Nathaniel Hawthorne called "the most curious fissure in Berkshire? (page 32)
- Where can your dog hike through modern art sculptures? (page 47)
- Where can you hike with your dog past the only marble dam in America? (page 83)
- Where can you hike with your dog on a carpet of mosses and liverworts? (page 43)
No Dogs! Is there any more dispiriting day for a dog owner than driving to a new park and encountering the dreaded "NO DOGS" sign? DOGGIN' THE BERKSHIRES tells you the parks that don't welcome dogs. Also packed inside these 92 pages are...
...regulations for dogs in Berkshire campgrounds
...tips on outfitting your dog for a hike
...tips on practicing low impact hiking with your dog
...and much more.The Berkshires are a great place to hike with your dog. Within a short drive you can be scaling mountains that leave your dog panting, exploring impossibly green glens that will set tails to wagging or circling lakes for miles where swim-loving dogs never sight of the water. While walking the dog, author Doug Gelbert also brings along generous helpings of local history, botany, geology, architecture and more.
What makes a great place to take your dog hiking?
Well, how about a paw-friendly surface to trot on? Grass and sandy dirt are a lot more appealing than asphalt and rocks. A variety of hikes is always good - long ones for athletic dogs and short ones for the less adventurous canine. Dogs always enjoy a refreshing place to swim as well. For tail-friendly parks our guides describe the trail options for your dog, evaluate park traffic from other users, tell you whether you will need a guide dog to find your way around and, of course, tell you how to get to the park.So what are you waiting for? Your dog will want to visit a 165-ton glacial erratic (page 31), spot the elusiveMassquatch (page 67), hike through a herd of free-range Hereford cattle (page 27)...
