Our pups have always loved hiking, so we’ve searched for trails in our area of Western Washington that we can enjoy with them in their later years. I’ve compiled a list of hikes that we like and would recommend to others with senior dogs. Of course, every dog is different so do your research and adjust your plans as needed. The list is separated by geographical region. To view all the hikes, as well as additional tips, the best place to start is on the introductory page: Hiking with Senior Dogs in Western Washington.
And don’t forget, for everyone’s safety and enjoyment of the trails, make sure you keep your pup on leash and pick up after them!
The stunning Spruce Railroad Trail at Lake Crescent is a must-do hike
The entire Olympic Peninsula is vast with so much to see and do. The North side is certainly no exception! We certainly haven’t tried every trail, but here are some of our favorites that are good for senior dogs.
