Best Hikes With Dogs Colorado

Ania Savage has selected the best trails for every type of dog. She's been hiking with canine companions for more than twenty years and looks at the land through dog-centric eyes. These hikes will delight both you and your pet with panoramic vies, soft tundra grasses, plenty of flowing water, and unexplored valleys and forests where you may have the trail to yourself. Savage puts a premium on canine safety, including tips on how to hike with your dog at Colorado's high altitude and how to gauge the effect of high altitude and thin air on your dog. Hikes are recommended based on no-snow conditions as winter hiking in Colorado requires additional precautions.
