Have you made a plan to check out the changing colors this fall? Every season is perfection in the Vail Valley, but fall might be the best of the best.

Map out your route, plan your snack stops, and reserve a relaxing hotel (maybe one with a spa?) to unwind after a beautiful day of peeping leaves! 🍂

They Did What? Que Hicieron?

Don`t be that guy. The one who puts their trash out before trash day. Bears are out and about, bulking up before a long winter`s nap. Leave your trash inside until your pickup day. Human negligence creates nuisance animals.

Don`t be trashy! 🗑

We mentioned on National Dog Day the importance of keeping dogs leashed on trails. Why?

There are etiquette rules so everyone enjoys their adventure, and the outdoors stay wild.

Obey them and don’t be that guy. Follow signs and respect others, including wildlife and people. Leash your pet and leave Fido at home when the rules require. Stay on the trail and have an epic journey while staying in bounds.

It`s National Dog Day, and the Vail Valley is a perfect place to visit with your pooch!

There are a variety of dog-friendly accommodations, so look before you book to make sure your furry friend will be as welcome as you are.

While you`re out adventuring, don`t forget to pick up after your pet, keep your pup on the leash to avoid disturbing wildlife, and bring plenty of water for everyone when you`re out and about.

Feel free to ask @corgimissmaisy about her favorite hikes, hotels, and dog-friendly hotspots!
