Here's our top picks for hikes to explore with your canine companion, all while sporting the pawsome styles from Miminko:
For the Social Butterfly Pups:
- Runyon Canyon: This iconic hike is a must for the social pup. With designated off-leash areas, Runyon Canyon is a doggy playground filled with friendly faces (both canine and human!). Let your pup strut their stuff in Miminko's comfy and colorful It-Girl Harness Dress or Fuzzy Wuzzy Harness - perfect for showcasing their unique personality while you mingle with fellow dog lovers.
For the Adventurous Souls:
- Griffith Park - Observatory Trail Extended Loop: This moderate hike offers breathtaking panoramic views of the city. The challenging climb will leave your pup feeling accomplished, and the Hollywood sign photo opportunity is pup-arazzi worthy! Don’t forget boots, these will provide your furry adventurer with the traction and paw protection they need to conquer any trail.
For the Waterfall Wanderers:
- Millard Canyon Falls: This 2.8-mile hike leads to a refreshing waterfall, perfect for a mid-hike cool down for both you and your pup. The dappled sunlight through the trees and the sound of cascading water create a magical atmosphere. Miminko's Quick-Dry Cooling Bandana is a lifesaver on this hike, keeping your pup cool and comfortable as they splash around in the shallow pools.
For the Leisurely Loungers:
- Kenneth Hahn State Recreation Area: This scenic loop trail offers stunning city views without a challenging climb. It's the perfect spot for a leisurely stroll with your pup, allowing them to sniff around and enjoy the sights and smells of nature.
