Estes Park, Colorado, is a dog-owner’s dream. Though pets aren’t allowed on trails in the Rocky Mountain National Park, they can run wild in the Roosevelt national forest, test their skills on the obstacle course at Estes Valley Dog Park and join you on the trail around town. You’ll be guaranteed a warm welcome when you check into one of these pet-friendly hotels in Estes Park – bookable with Culture Trip.
