The CHCoA was established in January of 1999 as Arizona's first totally dog friendly outdoor club. Nine years later we have morphed into a free networking group where members can find others with common interests. A variety of member initiated outdoor activities are planned each month including, but not limited to, hiking, camping, backpacking, BBQ's, kayaking/canoeing, dog park play days, snow play days and charity walks. We have outings all over the state and events of varied skill levels so all types of k9 and human hikers can participate. Please visit our webpage for more details http://www.mydog8az.com/k9hike.html
