Leave Only Paw Prints: Dog Hikes in San Diego County

Sat. Sept. 3rd @ 10AM Meet the Author!

Donna Lawrence is a dog-lover and a long-time resident of San Diego County, who is now living in Los Angeles. She has written for National Geographic Traveler, the San Diego Daily Transcript, and the San Diego Natural History Museum’s Field Notes, among others. With a Master’s Degree in Geography, Lawrence has long appreciated San Diego’s varied terrain; she enjoyed exploring the county with her husband and their adorable dog Bailey.

This book takes you to 77 places in San Diego County to hike with your canine pal, from mountain trails to desert roads, from backcountry chaparral to county and city regional parks. This handy guide also features off-leash parks and beaches, as well as picturesque urban walks you can both enjoy.  More than 100 photos illustrate the diverse locales.  You’ll also be able to check out rules, regulations and hours of parks and open spaces to help avoid disappointing experiences.

The appendix lists nearly 50 local inns and hotels that welcome you and your furry friend.  You’re invited to take a look at the Table of Contents and to enjoy a  Sample Hike right here online.  And coming soon, the Photo Gallery will offer candid shots of lively pups having outdoor fun throughout San Diego County.
