The 1.6-mile hike for people and their dogs takes place Saturday, Sept. 17, from 8 a.m. to noon at the Glendale Farm Open Space north of Castle Rock.

If you raise at least $75 in pledges, you'll receive a long-sleeved Wag 'n Trail T-shirt, ice cream for you and your dog, and a professional photo along the trail.
