We took a short road-trip vacay last week, and the first destination was Truckee in the Lake Tahoe area. On our first day, Tomokee enjoyed a hike around Donner Lake.

We stayed in the pet-friendly Cedar House Sport Hotel in Truckee, and they provided a nice doggy bed as well as a welcoming bag of treats.

The next day, we hiked the Pacific Crest Trail in the Castle Peak area. There was still some snow on the ground, and Tomokee did his "hound-bounding" on some of the snowy paths.

We also walked along the banks of the Truckee River.

One of Tomokee's favorite places in Truckee is the Scraps Dog Bakery, but we got there too late the first day.

He was quite happy the next day when they were open.
