DOWNLOAD EBOOK →Two events have happened since the publication of the original 2017 version of 57 Dog-Friendly Trails. First, the Caldor Fire in 2021 severely damaged some of the trails making them unfavorable for hiking. Second, new fees and seasonal closures have affected many trails. Thus, a revision of 57 Dog-Friendly Trails was necessary. Fortunately, I had found a number of new trails to replace the damaged ones, and I was able to move the time for doing others into months before or after fees are charged. California’s foothills and the Sierra Nevada are lush with trails taking you to different venues – wildflowers, waterfalls, alpine lakes, meadows, snow, and flowing rivers. Along with the variety of destinations, this revised book offers: all dog-friendly trails directions to 57 trailheads 4+ trails for each month for optimal enjoyment trails for mountain bikers and equestrians family-friendly trail options before and after the hike suggestions

For half an hour he had been steadily regarding it, and for half an hour I had been slyly watching him. Something was going on in that mind of his, and, whatever it was, I knew it was well worth knowing. He had lived life, and seen things, and performed that prodigy of prodigies, namely, the turning of his back upon his own people, and, in so far as it was possible for an Indian, becoming a white man even in his mental processes. As he phrased it himself, he had come into the warm, sat among us, by our fires, and become one of us. He had never learned to read nor write, but his vocabulary was remarkable, and more remarkable still was the completeness with which he had assumed the white man's point of view, the white man's attitude toward things.

DOWNLOAD EBOOK →A delightful photographic journey into a year in the life of a team of sled dogs, based on Braverman’s wildly popular Twitter feed When Blair Braverman started posting pictures of her dog team on Twitter, she had no idea the response she would get. Being a musher, after all, isn’t just about racing—raising dogs from puppyhood to retirement (and beyond) is a full-time job. She and her husband, musher Quince Mountain, wanted to share stories about life with their dog team. And not just the big stuff, like expeditions and wild animal encounters, but also the everyday things: the challenge of storing a thousand pounds of raw meat, scouting new trails with the dogs, the decisions that go into putting a team together, how she trains puppies to be brave. These were goofy stories, scary stories, heartfelt stories, stories that clearly connected with people and kept going viral. Inspired by those connections, Dogs on the Trail is a chronicle of a year in the life of their dog team. Beginning in the fall as the weather starts to cool, training on both dry land and in the snow, then camping and racing. Spring brings mud—lousy for sledding, but the dogs love it. And summer is the season of puppies. The book ends on a beginning, in anticipation of the adventurous lives that the new pups have in store. An irresistible adventure, Dogs on the Trail will delight and entertain while taking you inside a musher’s world, and showing you why the wilderness isn’t simply a place to visit but also a home to return to.
