   #1 Downtown Sierra Madre

   No bones about it, Downtown Sierra Madre is beautiful, with a charming shopping area beloved by locals and visitors alike. There’s natural wonder right in the heart of the town. The Mount Wilson trail begins on E. Mira Monte Avenue. Leashed pets are welcome on the 12.5-mile loop trail, but it can get very steep -- unless you and your pup are very fit, you may want to stay at the beginning of the trail. Downtown Sierra Madre is also home to several dog friendly restaurants! You and your pooch can grab a coffee at the Bean Town Coffee House and Bakery, or a meal at Sierra Fusion, a Japanese restaurant with a pup-friendly patio set up for dogs and their owners.

   While the Sierra Madre Dog Park on E. Sierra Madre Boulevard may be small, it would be a huge faux paws not to give the place a visit! While the park is not as large as the one in neighboring Pasadena, there’s still plenty of space for your furry friend to run free! The park has separate areas for large and small dogs, so your pooch can socialize with some new friends their own size. There’s plenty of shade for  both pets and owners, but remember to bring your own water and toys!

   Just an 8-minute drive from central Sierra Madre, the Eaton Canyon Nature Reserve on North Altadena Drive in Pasadena is home to some of the areas best dog-friendly hiking trails. Dogs are welcome on leash, and you and your pooch will be treated to a short, scenic hike up to the pawsitively beautiful Eaton Canyon Falls, a gorgeous spot popular with both locals and visitors. The first mile or so is flat, with a moderate incline up towards the falls, so you and your dog can enjoy the trail no matter your furry friend’s size or fitness level. There’s not much shade along the way, though, so it’s best to visit in the morning.
