I don’t know what everyone’s problem is with the crisp, fall weather. I think it makes things have a special, zingy scent. I could roam outdoors all day and just follow my nose, but it’s much more fun if my family’s along for the run.
The Other Place and Long Valley Ranch are two family-friendly retreats in Northern California, and they’re the perfect place to bring the gang (including your best friend!) and celebrate the outdoors. Wildlife viewing opportunities for both kids and canines include: rabbits, deer, wild turkeys and birds of prey.
