AZ Trail Tails

Happy Gotcha Day to the desert gremlin who stole my heart 💙🐾
From day one, Gila turned my world into one big adventure — and I’m so grateful she chose me back.

Stopped through Durango, and I swear their city motto should be: Bikes, Beers, and Dogs 🚲🍺🐕

My heart goes out to everyone in Gila County—especially in Globe—after the devastating flash floods. 💔 We were just there recently and fell in love with the town, its history, and its people. Sending strength and support to a community we truly admire.

BARK Ranger Gila is all tuckered out after a 6-day road trip through the Four Corners. We explored 2 National Parks, 2 National Monuments, & 2 Navajo Nation tours. Stay tuned for the trip highlights!

In the heart of Carefree’s shopping center sits one of the largest sundials in the U.S. The plaza is filled with art, shops, desert gardens, and open spaces that are perfect for early morning strolls with the pup

Monsoon season in the desert. One moment it’s dry and still, the next the washes are flowing and streets are underwater. 🌵🌩🌊

The Phoenix heat is relentless 🌵☀️. Dreaming of that 20°F January day at Sunset Crater—snow on the ground, frozen noses, and air so cold it hurt to breathe ❄️🌋

Standing 39 feet tall in Cave Creek, the world’s largest Kachina doll honors Hopi tradition and towers over the desert like a guardian spirit. Built in 1970, it’s a roadside surprise worth the stop!

Extreme Heat Warning; could reach 115°F in Phoenix today! 🥵 Arizona law prohibits hiking with dogs when temps hit 100°F. Reminder to also protect those paws from the hot pavement 🔥🐾 Early walks or indoor play only!

Ever wonder where land measurements in Arizona begin? This unassuming spot south of Phoenix marks the Gila and Salt River Principal Meridian—the official starting point for land surveys across most of the state.

Arizona Falls is a hidden gem along the canal—part art, part history, part cool-down spot.

Flashback Friday: Look at this sweet, scruffy 7-month-old pup. She stole our hearts instantly—& hasn’t let go since. Today, she’s 3 & somehow even more lovable. Happy Birthday, Gila!
