Pesky signs throughout California state parks denounce playful pups from sharing their trails. However, there are some hidden gems throughout our wilderness that welcome any pup’s footprints on their paths. Westridge-Canyonback Wilderness Park is less well known than other dog friendly parks around LA. This particular patch of wilderness is located near Mulholland Drive in Encino, CA. It is easily accessible from either side of Los Angeles, north and south. Compared to hikes like Runyon and Eaton Canyon, Westridge-Canyonback offers wide-open trails that give way to panorama views of Los Angeles County. Another huge plus for this piece of less well known back country is that in certain areas dogs are allowed to be off leash. This gives your canine counterpart the opportunity to run wild and free – safely of course.

This is a great opportunity to bring your dog along on a night out and enjoy some cuddles while hunkering down amongst a picnic-style gathering. What you bring to the showing is completely up to you, so you and your dog can be as comfortable as possible, even sharing a bite to eat from the many food trucks made available during each film. The live bands at each event add to the festivities of this summertime celebration.
