Your Dog's Favorite Hikes In Arizona

Most of Catalina State Park north of Tucson is off-limits for dogs but the Canyon Loop is good desert trail through saguaro stands and small arroyos. It moves up and down and there is also a delightful stream hidden near the end of the loop for cooling off on the hottest days.

We liked some of the more remote trails in the Petrified National Forest (dogs aren't allowed on all the trails). Trails like Long Logs, Blue Mesa and Crystal Forest are all less than a mile so they are short hikes on hot days - it's wide open and you can see the petrified rocks up close.

For "city dogs" I love to take my dog, Sierra, to the Indian Bend Wash! It extends from 92nd St. and Shea Blvd in Scottsdale all the way to Tempe! You can access this paved trail at many places along the route..the trail is shared with bicycles, rollerbladers and walkers but we love an early morning walk with views of lakes, golf courses and big open spaces!

I have found the circumference trail at Piestewa Peak a great one for dogs. It meets up with the main summit trail, which dogs are not allowed on, but you can just turn around there and head back rather than completing the loop. There are much fewer people on the circumference trail than on the main summit trail. There are some good ups and downs to get a good workout.
