We took our 4 1/2 month old 5 pound puppy on her favorite hike through the woods. We decided to take Trail 25 and followed the river since it was so beautifully majestic after all of the recent rain runoff. After a short rest on the bench overlooking The Devil's Toenail, we cut over to Trail 211 and looped back to the swinging bridge. There were many others enjoying the near perfect weather, but the trail never seemed crowded. After all that rain the week before, the mosquitos were out in force. As long as we were walking, they stayed away, but when we took a break to chat with other hikers, they took advantage.We love this trail complex for a few different reasons.
1. Dogs are allowed. Our dog loves going here because, you guessed it, there are other dogs on walks. We took her the first time when she was only 9 weeks old and and weighed 2 pounds and the trail was still snow covered. She just loves going on adventures!
2. There are a variety of trails, including the Centennial, so we can vary it up and try different loops and combinations
3. It is close to home. It's nice that we can spend more time on a trail than we spend getting there. Obviously there are others we like elsewhere, but this complex is handy.
I have included pics from several different hikes.
