    "There are many dog-friendly people in the neighborhood, and there are great trails and hiking areas where leashed dogs are welcome; however not all dogs in idyllwild are socialized, and there are not many enclosed public spaces where dogs can safely play together off-leash."

    "It’s a very small village of About 1,800 full time residents. It’s a resort mountain town with no skiing. It’s known for rock climbing & hiking. Perched above the low desert of Palm Desert people escape here from the high heat there. No fast food and Mom and pop shops. Dogs as Mayors for the village. It’s like living back when everyone knew your name, kids could ride their bikes, and they were safe. It’s a secret, not many people even know we are up here. So shhh we like it that way! It’s Magical!"
