Get to Know Dog-Friendly Aspen

Most of Aspen’s trails and mountains are pup-friendly, and some will even allow your dog to roam free and off-leash.

Aspen loves dogs so much that they even allow them to ride to the top of Aspen Mountain by gondola during the summer. From there, adventurous pups can hike with their humans back down the mountain. You’ll also find several swimming areas where you can take your pooch to cool down and escape the heat. If you and your dog are skiing enthusiasts, you two will have a blast at Snowmass once the snow starts falling.
Pet-Friendly Restaurants in Aspen
After exercising outside with your dog all day, you can quench your thirst or grab a bite to eat at one of the many pet-friendly establishments in town. The Living Room and Terrace Bar at the Little Nell welcomes dogs who want to dine with their favorite humans. They even have a gourmet menu with specialty dinners just for dogs. Most Aspen restaurants with outdoor seating allow pups to sit next to you at a patio table, too.
You’ll find that most Aspen businesses will open their doors to pets, so your furry pal won’t have to suffer from separation anxiety. Just call ahead to be sure!
