Off-leash rompin’ in the redwoods

By: DogTrekker Staff

Let’s face it: hiking is not much fun when your dog is pulling you down the path. In Humboldt County, home to the tallest trees on Earth, both of you can break free from the leash. Here are the areas where you and yours can enjoy a fragrant scamper among the redwoods or along gorgeous Redwood Coast.
