Dog Friendly Activities in Vail, CO

Pets are welcome to play off-leash in this beautiful open space in East Vail.

Bring Fido to play off-leash in this no-frills, Vail park with beautiful scenery. The park is not fenced in, so dogs should always be under voice control. Be sure to clean up after your pet. Stephens Dog Park is open daily from dawn to dusk.

Booth Falls and Lake Trail is a 8-mile hike in the White River National Forest that will take about 7 hours round-trip. When visiting Vail with Fido, the hike up this 60-foot waterfall is a must. It's not easy by any means, but the views are worth the 3000 foot uphill climb. If you not feeling THAT ambitious, you can cut the time (and elevation) in half by turning back once you reach the falls.

Pitkin Lake Trail is a 8.8 mile hike in White River National Forest that will take about 7 hours to complete with Fido. This steep trail will take you to Pitkin Lake and affords views of the beautiful mountain range.
