I prefer the Dry Creek entrance to Garin (that side also has free parking). It is mostly leash free on that side (there are quite a few cows though as well as the occasional horse so be prepared to leash your dog if necessary). This side has rolling hills and seemingly endless trails. From the entrance, on cold days, I tend to turn right onto the gravel path. Days that are warmer, I head down the hill on the right. The trail on the lower side is shadier.

There is a porta potty at the entrance and a water fountain but nothing inside the park. Dogs are not allowed in the garden area next to the trails.
