55The best spot I've been to! Worth every minute of the hour drive. My collies loved zipping through the trees and up the hills, and exploring the porches of the little cabins lest a hooman be there to offer a snack (sorry, pups!). The snacks for all of us left at the car was the sweetest unexpected gesture.
I used the last few minutes to put the dogs in the car and go back to "chat" with the goats and give them neck rubs. So much fun!
Note if you have a dog that doesn't like yappy little fluffy white dogs, the neighbor one came down to the cattle panel fence and all that was between it and my dogs was the creek. Could be a challenge for a determined, reactive dog. Tonya K.

55The best SniffSpot ever! Feels like we’re going hiking in the woods, with no worries of the dogs running too far or bothering anyone. Host is wonderful, leaving small thank you treats, and her organic eggs are worth paying extra for. We’re a regular now and until we’re able to fence our yard, this is our to go spot for the pooches.

55We so enjoyed visiting Grace's beautiful property. She was a welcoming host and the space is a beautiful wooded forest land with lots of room to roam and a flowing creek to play in. Scout had a blast exploring, we packed a forest picnic (pack it in, pack it out ( :) and even saved time to visit her beautiful herd of goats and took some farm fresh eggs back home with us. We can't wait to come back!Evangelynn H.

FAQ about our Mission dog hiking trails
Are dog hiking trails safe?
While public dog parks have a number of safety issues, such as aggressive dogs, inattentive owners, disease transmission and general cleanliness, Sniffspot dog parks are much safer than a city or county park. With a Sniffspot off-leash area all bookings are private for just you and dogs you bring with you and we require all dogs to be vaccinated (or have equivalent titers). All Sniffspot locations are vetted and reviewed by guests so you can find the perfect place for you and your dog. 93% of reviews on Sniffspot visits are 5 stars. Our hiking trails tend to be outside the city, which lends to more privacy, but it is also important to follow typical hiking safety precautions, such as potentially having trail maps.
How do I know if a dog hiking trail works for my dog?
Sniffspot provides the tools to find the ideal spot. Start by applying basic filters, such as fencing 6 feet tall and distractions, to find a dog park with trails that works for your dog. You can also filter by size if you are looking for a certain acre park, an expansive off-leash dog park. If your dog doesn't have good recall, you can visit one of our fully fenced dog hiking trails. If your dog is reactive to other dogs, you can visit one of our dog hiking trails where there are no dogs audible or visible nearby. Since you are looking for trails, make sure to check photos to see if it the spot has flat trails or gnarly trails. You can also browse by specific amenities, if you are looking for a view or a beach, for instance, or other activities or fun features. You can check whether the spot has off or on street parking, the regular park hours, whether it has paved trails or a modern restroom.
What are the requirements to bring my dog to a Sniffspot dog hiking trail?
In order to hike the trails, we require that all dogs have basic vaccinations or equivalent titers. We do not permit dogs with a bite history. We require that guests sign our waiver and agree to follow our safety rules.
Will there be other dogs at the Sniffspot hiking trail at the same time as me?
Sniffspot only allows one booking at a time and any host dogs are required to be kept away from the spot during visits. We also enforce 30 min time buffers between bookings.
How much do Sniffspot hiking trails cost?
Dog hiking trails in the Mission area range from $4.0 and $4.0. The least expensive dog hiking trail is Ballard-Fenced-Yard-Near-Locks. The most expensive dog hiking trail is Ballard-Fenced-Yard-Near-Locks. Each host sets their own price, so you can check the price on the specific Sniffspot dog park listing.
