Hi everyone. I'm embarking on a cross-country trip with my dog and looking to do some backpacking. Since I'm not limited by state, this question goes out to all of you:

Where have you gone backpacking that allows dogs, and is a good, multi-day hike for people as well?

Thanks!!
Brenda

PS. If you know anywhere near the San Francisco Bay Area, that's my home base.

The majority of national forests permit dogs, usually, provided they are leashed and under control. National parks, on the other hand, do not permit dogs on trails. See http://www.forestcamping.com/dow/list/nflist.htm for national forest locations . . . Fred

If you drift down to New Mexico, hit Carson National Forest. There is some great trails in the area along with the scenery. I have also heard that Gila national forest is good too, although I have not backpacked there. If you are up near Yellowstone, try Gallatin NF.
