Have you ever considered how far you walk with your dog?

place to take a hike with your dog in Northern Virginia?

No Dogs!

Is there any more dispiriting day for a dog owner than
driving to a new park and encountering the dreaded "NO
DOGS" sign? DOGGIN' NORTHERN VIRGINIA tells you the parks that
don't welcome dogs. Also packed inside these 192 pages
are...

...tips on outfitting your dog for a hike
...tips on practicing low impact hiking with your dog

Northern Virginia is a great place to hike with your dog. Within a
short drive your dog can climb mountains that leave him
panting, trot down sand trails, walk on some of the
most historic grounds in America, explore dark ravines or
circle lakes for miles and never lose sight of the water. 
While walking the dog, author Doug Gelbert also brings along
generous helpings of local history, botany, geology,
architecture and more.

So what are you waiting for? Your dog will want to get going and look a bald eagle in the eye (page 23), trot across a bridge built by the Army's 11th Engineer Battalion (page 53), hike through the largest stand on bluebells on the East Coast (page 83)...
