America's Seashores: Where Can I Take My Dog To The Beach?
It is hard to imagine many
places a dog is happier than at a beach. Whether running around

with signs designed to make hearts - human and canine alike -
droop: NO DOGS ON BEACH. Below is a quick traveling tour of America's
beaches with each state ranked from the most dog-friendly (****)

The Blue Ridge Parkway: Hike With Your Dog In America's Most
Popular Park
Begun as a Depression-era
public works project, the Blue Ridge Parkway was America's first
rural parkway. When ultimately completed it was also the nation's
longest - 469 miles of uninterrupted mountain roads linking Shenandoah
National Park in the north to the Great Smokey Mountains National
Park in the south. The Blue Ridge Parkway is far and away the
most popular destination in the National Park System - more than
19 million recreation visits per year. One of the explanations
for its enduring popularity could be that the Blue Ridge is also
one of America's most dog-friendly destinations.

Things To Do When You Hike With Your Dog In The Mountains
Some of your most rewarding
hikes with your dog will be in the mountains. Oft times you can
reach a memorable destination with an elevation gain of less
than 1,000 feet. Other times you will be on the trail for hours
as you ascend more than 3,000 feet (about the equivalent of climbing
the Empire State Building three times). Either way, it is best
to plan ahead for your hike with your dog in the hills.

The Highpoints: Hike With Your Dog On America's Rooftops
My high school was
built next to the highest point in the state. The exact spot
was in a trailer park out beyond the football field, just over
the visitor's grandstand. Don't worry, we didn't get winded climbing
the stairs and kids weren't lined up at the nurse's office complaining
of nose bleeds. The exact elevation was 448 feet. We were in
Delaware and of all the states only Florida has a lower "high
