Dog friendly vacations in Colorado

Branson at Garden of the Gods

Dog friendly vacations in Colorado are fairly easy to find because pet friendly lodging exists throughout the state. Dog friendly hiking too...

Places like the mountain parks, some of the state parks, national forests, and wilderness areas are all dog friendly. So if you love to hike with your dog, there's no reason why you can't bring your furry friend with you for a dog friendly vacation in Colorado.

Of course, if you do bring your furry friend, you'll need to find some pet friendly lodging. In Colorado, that's not hard to do. Most of the mountain towns have various types of lodging that will accept your dog.

Each property has its own rules about whether or not your dog can stay unattended in the room and most of them will charge you a fee. Our experience has been that if you have a crate or travel kennel, you are more likely to be allowed to leave your dog alone in the room. So if you have a crate, bring it with you. You need it for the plane anyway!

And if you're driving here on your dog friendly vacation in Colorado, bring the crate with you then too. It doesn't take up that much space if you take it apart, and you never know when it might come in useful. The good thing about a crate, (at least if your dog uses it at home), is that it will help him/her feel more at home when he's away from home.

Here's a list of some things you might want to bring for your canine companion on this dog friendly vacation in Colorado: portable food and water bowls, a leash, dog food, treats, towel, brush, chew toy, and plastic bags for pick up duty.

I hope that you and your canine companion enjoy your dog friendly vacation in Colorado!
