Local Climate & Pet Care

Winter

Wet, heavy spring snowstorms alternate with warm sunny periods. The foothills trails open gradually as snow melts. Late spring wildflowers along the Poudre River are beautiful for walks with your pet.

Dry, sunny summers are wonderful for outdoor activities. Afternoon thunderstorms with lightning are common in the foothills. Horsetooth Reservoir offers swimming options for water-loving dogs. Carry extra water at this altitude.
