Grab your boots, your hat and your dog’s favorite leash, and follow the trail of wet noses and wagging tails at the ninth annual Dumb Friends League Wag `n Trail! The 1.6-mile hike for people and their pups takes place Saturday, Sept. 21, from 8 a.m. to noon at Glendale Farm Open Space north of Castle Rock. All the money raised goes to help the homeless pets at the Dumb Friends League Buddy Center.
Participants are encouraged to sign up early, and then start collecting pledges to earn prizes. You can hike the trail at your own pace any time between 8 a.m. and noon. If you raise at least $75 in pledges, you will receive a long-sleeved Wag `n Trail T-shirt, ice cream for you and your dog, and a professional photo of you and your hound hiking along the trail.
Following the hike, animal lovers can enjoy flyball demonstrations and refreshments, as well as purchase pet-related merchandise and food from local vendors. There is also a five-acre, off-leash dog park located near the trailhead.
