Joshua Tree National Park is a quick 2 hour drive from Los Angeles. It's famous for climbing but also for it's unique landscape. We were really excited to go but quickly became disappointed when we found out that it is one of the least dog friendly national parks. We did a lot of searching to find the best spots so you can enjoy a weekend with your pup!
Carmel-by-the-Sea is one of the most dog friendly cities in the U.S. The town sits about 2 hours south of SF, on your way down to Big Sur along the Pacific Coast Highway. I've been coming here since I was 5 years old, running down the cobblestone sidewalks and playing at the beach. It's one of the my favorite weekend activities. Here are some of my favorite things to do (with or without a pup!)
