Follow this pet-friendly itinerary to explore some top spots in and around Trinidad with your furry buddy!
Trinidad Lake State Park
Greet the day in true Trinidad fashion by taking your pup on a scenic hike at Trinidad Lake State Park. While you absorb the tranquil surroundings and your best friend picks up some new scent, you’ll both benefit from the fresh air, exercise, and time together.
Remember to follow the Care for Colorado Leave No Trace Principles by always using a leash (required at Trinidad Lake State Park) and picking up and carrying out any pet waste.


Hit the Riverwalk
Keep your dog engaged with exercise on the Riverwalk, which follows the calming Purgatoire River for 3.5 miles through Trinidad. Along the Riverwalk, near City Hall, check out the historic Steam Engine 638.
Highway of Legends Sunset Drive
After all that outdoor activity, hop in your ride and take a sunset drive on the Highway of Legends National Scenic Byway. Let your pup rest while you pass through the inspiring mountainous landscape dotted with unreal geological formations. Along the way, take advantage of pet-friendly stops such as Trinidad Lake, Monument Lake, North Lake, hiking trails (North Fork Purgatoire, Spring Creek) and Dog Bar in Cuchara.
