Expanded Run-A-Muck parking is a welcome addition

On any given weekend morning, Run-A-Muck, Park City’s first off-leash dog trail will see hundreds of visitors. It’s one of the shining successes of Summit County in recent memory. Within the last few weeks, that experience has become even better. While the trails were always great, the parking left something to be desired. The main lot …

Me and My Mutt are Finally Legal in Summit County

Your dog generally follows your commands. Everyone loves your dog. So, much like me, you let your canine companion run off leash. On occasion, things …
