Hiking with my dog within 1-2 hours of Lodi this weekend?

Where's a great place to take my dog hiking this weekend that's 1-2 hours from Lodi, Calif.?

I've taken my dog to Morgan Territory in the East Bay and Kennedy Meadows in the Sierras. I'm looking for a scenic place that allows dogs where I can get a nice, long hike in. Thanks!

You can get a long way in 2 hours. Google maps says Sunol Regional Wilderness is about 1:30 away from Lodi. It's dog friendly, not too crowded and an absolutely beautiful place to hike. All the hikes are up a mountain and back down again. It's easy to get a 5~8 mile hike in with 1500~2500' of climb. Its really nice this time of year, but still just a little early for wild flowers. Really interesting geology if you're into that sort of thing.

Rockville Hills Park in Fairfield. Not too far from Lodi. Lots of trails. Dogs are welcome, they just have to be on leash.
