Pet Friendly Hotels Durango Colorado:
A vacation to Colorado would not be complete without a visit to pet friendly Durango! Located in the southwest corner of Colorado near the famous Four Corners junction, the historic town of Durango lies nestled between the stunning red sandstone cliffs of the Animas River Valley. To the northeast are the majestic San Juan Mountains, to the west are arid desert lands, and to the south are the vast two million acres of the San Juan National Forest, once home to an ancient pueblo civilization. With such a dramatic backdrop, it's no wonder that pet friendly Durango offers such a diverse array of exciting, year-round activities.

Durango is an outdoor doggy paradise, featuring thousands of miles of pet friendly hiking trails. From strenuous hikes over steep mountainous terrain to easy hikes through fields of colorful wildflowers, there’s something for everyone. Popular pet friendly hikes include the Horse Gulch Trail System, Vallecito Lake, Animus City Mountain Trail, and the famous Colorado Trail —a 500-mile trail that stretches through the spectacular Rocky Mountains from Durango to Denver. Back in town, the pet friendly Animas River Trail is an easy five-mile paved trail that follows the Animas River through lovely parkland. Durango Dog Park, a 5-acre park on the banks of the Animas River, is another great place where your dog can run, play, and swim off leash.

Other exciting outdoor activities in the area include mountain biking on endless miles of Colorado bike trails; rafting the waters of the Animus River, jeep and dogsled tours of the rugged San Juan Mountains; sailboat rides on pristine Vallecito Lake; and horseback rides through shimmering aspen groves and tall pines. In winter, Durango offers world-class skiing and snowboarding at Durango Mountain Resort, also known as Purgatory. The Durango area features hundreds of miles of pet friendly groomed trails for cross country skiing and snowshoeing, as well.

One of Durango’s most well known attractions is the Durango and Silverton Narrow Gauge Railroad. This coal-fired, steam-powered locomotive travels through the breathtaking canyons of San Juan National Forest to historic Silverton, an old mining town where the shopping for silver jewelry simply cannot be beat. Mesa Verde National Park, another popular attraction, showcases the spectacular cliff dwellings of the Ancestral Pueblo people. Although neither of these attractions is pet friendly, Durango has a number of pet sitters and doggie daycare facilities that will care for your pet while you sightsee.

If you’re looking for something more relaxing, historic downtown Durango is a great place for a leisurely stroll with your pet. Visitors are sure to be inspired by Durango’s rich cultural offerings, which include museums, cultural centers, and art galleries. The town’s artisan-inspired shops are a delight for shoppers, and many shops provide water and treats for well-behaved dogs. Durango also hosts a variety of unique food, wine, arts, and cultural festivals throughout the year.

It has been said that there is no better dog loving town than Durango, which is borne out by the large number of pet friendly campgrounds, motels, hotels, and inns. So make your reservations today for a getaway to incredible Durango! An unforgettable, exciting adventure awaits you and your pet.
