Are you planning a visit to Estes Park this summer? And you are bringing Fido with you. Check out some of the areas websites before you get here to plan some fun activities with your dog. Dogs are not allowed on the trails in RMNP. You may take your dog along for a ride into the park and keep them on a leash in designated parking areas, but no hiking in RMNP. For those of you wanting to hike with your canine friends consider the National Forests. I wanted to post some pics from a recent hike with Haley, my Golden Retriever, on Crosier Mountain starting in Glen Haven where the Trail head is located. She kept us running most of the way up the steep trail.
There are some incredible views of Longs Peak . . .
All the trails on HWY 36 as you head towards Lyons are dog friendly too. Lily Mountain trail is a popular hike under 2 miles that is close to HWY 7 and minutes from EP. If you dog isn’t up for a hike, stop by the Dog Park right by Lake Estes and Stanley Park. If you want a complete list of dog-friendly trails stop by the Estes Park Visitor Center for a list.
Have fun, be respectful of others on the trail and lookout for wildlife!
