Dog Hiking Wardsworth Canyon - The trail is about 7 miles round trip with minimal elevation gain—just a few gentle hills—making it perfect for beginners and very dog-friendly. There are around 10 creek crossings each way (so about 20 total), though there are a few alternate paths if you'd prefer fewer crossings. There is a good amount of shade on the trail, as well. The creek water is clean and safe for dogs to drink, so no need to bring extra water for them.

Tip:

You might end up with wet feet. Waterproof shoes, extra pair of socks, and or sandals for the drive home might not be a bad idea.
