May 17th Pinebrook adventure

Aloha, Pinebrook was the place to be on this gorgeous sunny and warm day. There are plenty of shady trees and a couple of small snow patches for the dogs to cool off in. We dig this area for the well maintained smooth trails and variety of routes to explore. The people are also very friendly that we meet which is always a bonus. Brooks joined us today, always nice to have a Donahue along for our adventure!! Starting off on the Spring trail up Jekyl and Hyde to Hunters Plaid and back down the same way making for a fun out and back. Great dogs today, everybody enjoyed one another and played well together. Life is good:) Peace...Schwaby

May 14th and 15th

Aloha, Summit Park is ready to ride and is excellent hiking. There is still a few snow patches but they are small and will be gone soon with this heat wave. Our adventure started out on the Short Stack trail over to the Road to Wos, up the Over Easy perimeter trail, with a stop at the warming hut for this fine photo. From there we headed up to the old WOS site and down the other side of the Over Easy, back on the Road to Wos and back home on the Short Stack. We never grow tired of this scenic and wooded trail of pure fun. I can't wait to ride it! Tuesdays hike was on Robs trail in Sun Peak with Roxy, Sasha, Josie, Delila Bear and Zoey. It was busy on this hike with bikers runners and people with dogs, not surprising, this is a super fun trail and very popular with locals and visitors alike. The trees are beautiful and the trails are in great shape. We went up to the Ambush trail that connects to Holly Flanders where we hit a nice pond fed by melting snow. Sorry for the lack of pictures, I spaced the camera on this fine day and was really bummed. Great dogs and beautiful weather! Peace....Schwaby

May 9th adventures to Daly Canyon & Lost Prospector

Aloha, It feels like summer in May....Crazy!! We are experiencing a heat wave and it feels good for now. Daly still has water, nothing compared to 2011, but we are grateful for the dry trails and fun spring conditions. Town loop to King road over to grave digger and back down through Root Cellar and finishing on the Trappers gate trail. Nice loop dudes!! Our second hike was fast and fun on the Gamble Oak trail up the power line steep climb onto Masonic and back on the Lost Prospector trail to the truck. Great day before my trip to Oregon and Washington which was amazing!! Peace. Schwaby

Aloha, Beautiful day on the Solamere loop/Gap trail, where we ran into Sasha's and Josie's mama and they had no idea it was her so we moved right along and almost ran into her again a few minutes later but we sneeked away and all was good. Our Second hike of the day was up Iron canyon that was nice but muddy in the usual spot about 25 minutes up so we turned around, sat in the Aspens for awhile then had a leisurely stroll down. What a great day... Peace. Schwaby

April 7th adventures

Todays route-Sweeneys-South Sweeney's-420-Johns-Flat Cable trail.

Aloha, Daly, Daly Daly.....It never gets old and we see more moose there than anywhere else and always a different route to travel. You gotta love it babe!! We have yet to tire of this incredible place. Plenty of snow still but not for long, and we will be riding high very soon. Peace...Schwaby

May 3rd adventure

Aloha, Mormon Flats is a place to go when you need water and there was plenty of it today. I was pleasantly surprised that it was not flooded and the hike was quite scenic, green and a flowing stream the whole way. The beavers have been busy!! There seems to be more ponds this year and the upper trail past mile marker 2 was full of water in sections, the scouts will be busy and I hope to see more bridges built because this place seems to change every spring and always needs a lot of work. Lots of water makes for happy dogs!! Life is good. Schwaby

May 2nd adventure

Aloha, Roxy and Dryfus have become close buddies and we always have fun and cool outings. Today was no exception, hiking on the dry trails of Solamere which seems to be the theme so far this year, was spring like and wonderful. We need a good long summer after a winter like that wouldn't you agree? Peace. Michael
