DogTrekker is here to help readers make the most of 2026. This year, we’re expanding our coverage of dog-friendly California destinations. Watch our newsletters for inspiration from longtime partners, along with under-the-radar cities, counties and regions that warmly welcome four-legged family members.
In the months ahead, we’ll roll out fresh road trip itineraries spanning Mendocino and the epic North Coast, pup-culture highlights on the Central Coast, and sun-splashed Southern California. We’ll spotlight 100 years of Route 66, tracing the route from Santa Monica through Los Angeles, into the Inland Empire, and on toward the California border. We know our readers love festivals and adoption/rescue events, so watch for those updates throughout the year, too.
Ready to plan your 2026 adventures? Let DogTrekker’s most-read stories of 2025 (shared in no particular order) spark some ideas!
