Favorite Dog Hikes In and Around Los Angeles

Wynne Benti

Due to the Station Fire, new edition due 2010
Over 80,000 copies sold since 1995. Towsley Canyon Favorite Dog Hikes In And Around Los Angeles is the trail guide to over 100 of our favorite dog-friendly day hikes, walks and parks in and around Los Angeles. With patterns for making your own dog hiking boots, each hike description includes driving instructions, K9 water, mileages and estimated round-trip completion times, difficulty ratings (super-easy to strenuous), off or on-leash designations and more!

Raised in Studio City, Wynne Benti, coauthor of Favorite Dog Hikes In and Around Las Vegas and Climbing Mt. Whitney, has guided people and their dogs into the mountains of L.A. for over twenty years. In 1990, Benti cofounded the K9 Hiking Committee in the Sierra Club's Angeles Chapter. She has hiked more than 600 mountains in the southwest and Mexico, many with her dogs.
