Lovely Views, Narrow Trails
Took our 6 month Pit Mix, Yeti, to this park for a bit of hiking. We got there later in the day so we didn't spend a ton of time on the trails but we really enjoyed the visit. The trails are easy to follow, the views are great from the cliff-tops, and our pit had little trouble keeping up with us. The only real issue was how narrow the trails are. There is very little room to pass other groups, which could be troublesome to people with dogs that are wary of strangers or other animals. We kept Yeti on a 6-foot leash and a harness with a handle so we could lead her off to the sides of the path whenever someone needed to pass us. Overall, a lovely walk but definitely not a place for unsocialized/reactive dogs.
