We first started off with the birthing cave. I forgot to take a picture but about after 0.6 miles, you’ll come up to a fork, marked by a wooden fence. You want to turn left here, and head towards the canyons. At some point you’ll come up a steep hill and you’re already there!
Our second hike was Boynton Canyon. I would recommend downloading Alltrails and using someones mapped trail as a guide. I would say for the public part of the trail it’s flat and very easy to navigate through. The moment you take the social trail to the subway though it can get a bit dicey if you don’t have a gps. I even got lost having the gps on lol. The trail will get tight and you’ll have to single file but it was all still doable for us and the doggos. When we reached the ‘Subway’ there was a big fatty line. We decided to setup lunch and wait. There was a steep slope right before the viewpoint that some of the dogs were having trouble getting up to, someone recommended trying to backtrack from the exit instead. Apart from overshooting the exit by about 50 feet in elevation and wasting a good 30 minutes. I would recommend doing this as well if you have puppers.
