   #1 Central Sedro Woolley

   Central Sedro Woolley, in Sedro Woolley, Washington, is about a 20-minute drive from Doran. This is a good place for an outdoor adventure with your precious pooch, as it’s the home of North Cascades National Park. Although the park doesn’t have a dog park, there’s not a need for one when you have this gorgeous area full of amazing landscapes, glaciers, and more in your backyard. Your pup must be on a leash if he joins you, but you’ll both love taking in the sights, getting some fresh air, and hiking along the paths and waterways. You can also visit the Cascade Trail, which reaches over 22 miles in length, and sets the perfect scene for a day outside with your dog pal.
