The Capri is a great modern, retro hotel which has a very groovy 60s vibe to it. It is set in a peaceful and a relaxing environment with just a short walk to downtown Ojai. Rooms are super clean with calm colors and the overall hotel has a sleek look with zen-like furnishings. The biggest plus for this hotel is that is super pet-friendly. The pet-friendly rooms have a nice sized enclosed patio area, which open up to another huge enclosed grass area, almost like a manicured dog park with beautiful trees. We strongly recommend this hotel for pet travelers. Oh, and did we mention they offer continental breakfast.

Dog friendly Hikes & Parks in Ojai

Rose Valley Falls Trail

The remote location and shielding from the surrounding mountains makes this place a good all day trip. Rose Valley Falls is an amazing destination. There are actually two falls, an upper and lower set, with the upper set being far more beautiful, higher, and dazzling than the lower falls. This simple, short, and very easy hike leads to the base of the lower falls and returns via the same route, because the upper falls are very difficult and even dangerous to reach.Like many other areas around Ojai this place is open to Hikers, dogs, horses, and bikes

Piedra Blanca Trail
Piedra Blanca Trail is an easy, 2.5-mile hike in Los Padres National Forest that will take about 2 hours to complete with your dog. Enjoy the natural beauty of this trail with magnificent rock formations, lovely creek and great mountain views

K9TailsLA traveled to Idyllwild in January of 2012 and discovered a community full of dog lovers, dog friendly restaurants, cafes and most importantly a hidden jewel spot called “Oh My Dog Gallery”.  It is not everyday that you come across an artist passionately showing his love for rescue dogs through his magnificent photos.

K9TailsLA was so inspired by this artist that we decided to write a post on his great work and share it with our readers. The artist at “Oh My Dog Gallery” is Frank Bruynbroek, an internationally known photographer and an activist stirring candid and commissioned black and white dog photographs that are sometimes fun, other times haunting, but always captivating.  His Ansel Adams-like ability captures a landscape of emotions from man’s best friend.

Frank chatted with K9TailsLA about his love for rescue dogs and how he began his journey with dogs.  If you happen to visit Idyllwild it is a shame not to stop by Oh My Dog Gallery and chat with the most down to earth guy, Frank Bruynbroek and see his beautiful gallery.

Oh My Dog Gallery is located in Oakwood Village.
