Colorado is one of the top 10 largest states in America, coming in at number eight, with roughly 104,000 square miles of mountains and plains to explore. Despite its diverse landscape, more often than not, travelers seek Colorado for its top-tier Rocky Mountain terrain, which stretches from top to bottom throughout the state.

While Rocky Mountain National Park — and frankly, many trails throughout the state — restrict dogs, Colorado is an overall incredibly dog-friendly destination, with many restaurants, shops, and parks welcoming pups with open arms (and lots of treats). So, what do you say?

Which pup is *perfect* for you?

Trick question: All dogs are perfect! But find out which type is the best fit for you.

Are you ready to book a mountain getaway you’ll never forget? Ahead, find 15 dog-friendly hotels in Colorado, starting in the capital city of Denver and fanning out across the state.
