National parks are America’s best idea - state parks are a dog’s best idea. National parks may have been called “America’s best idea,” but for dog lovers, they often feel like the nation’s biggest tease - epic trails and grand vistas, yet dogs are restricted to paved pull-outs and campgrounds in all but a handful of parks. Enter state parks: America’s second best idea, and arguably the best idea of all for those who hike with four paws in tow. With hundreds of hidden waterfalls, forest loops, seaside trails, and historic landscapes that welcome dogs as fellow adventurers, state parks offer an affordable, wide-open alternative to crowded national parks. That’s the promise of the Hike With Your Dog State Park Pass Guides—a roadmap to the trails and quirky treasures where America’s natural wonders aren’t just admired from the parking lot, but experienced side-by-side with your best friend. Pick a state. Now go build your next doggie dream vacation around state parks.
