Hiking Lantern Hill With Your Dog #Walktober

Yesterday we shared with you about our stay at Foxwoods' Two Trees Inn. On Saturday, we were invited to participate in a hike with dogs which was hosted by The Last Green Valley. In it's 25th year, they have been promoting walking with a series of events through Walktober.

Foxwoods' Two Trees Inn helped celebrate Walktober by hosting a pet-friendly hike through the stunning Mashantucket Pequot Reservation which Foxwoods calls home. This beautiful hike of the Pequot Trails are right in the back of Two Trees Inn.
