The Best Time of Year for a Colorado Road Trip With A Dog. 

This Dog-Friendly Colorado road trip is a perfect year-round itinerary. 

Fall: Fall in Colorado is magical. As autumn arrives, the leaves on the Aspen trees glow red and orange, the temperatures are just right, and the crowds in the mountains start to dwindle. Fall temperatures can be as high as the 60s and as low as the 20s. It’s always colder at higher elevations, and winter often arrives early in Colorado. Always prepare for the occasional winter weather event when traveling in Colorado during the fall. 

Winter: Colorado’s Rocky Mountains transform into a winter wonderland. With some of the best snow and terrain in the world, the Rockies are a mecca for skiers and snowboarders. Beyond alpine skiing, there’s cross-country skiing, snowshoeing, and even ice climbing. Winter temperatures in Colorado can range from sub-zero to the low 40s. Higher elevations will experience lower temperatures and more extreme weather. If you’re traveling in Colorado during the winter, consider using tire chains. 

Spring: Spring in Colorado offers the best of both worlds, with plenty of sunshine and snow still on the ground in the mountains. Nothing beats a bluebird day of spring skiing. Spring temperatures in the mountains range from the 20s to the 60s. While there’s plenty of sunshine in the spring, snowstorms are common. 

Summer: Summer in Colorado is the perfect time for a road trip with your pup. With constant sunshine and long summer days, the adventure possibilities are endless. If you’re visiting to hike, visit during the summer. 

If you’re planning a winter road trip in Colorado, consider renting our winter-specific extras. We offer electric kits with a heater and an extension cord that you can turn on during chilly nights if you stay at a campground with a hookup. We also offer snow chains and ice scrapers. Check out our tips for winter camping to ensure you have a fun and safe winter camping experience.

Preparation for a Colorado Road Trip With a Dog

Gear

Rain Gear: When you travel in the mountains, you never know what the weather will do. Come prepared for the rain and sun. Bring a rain jacket, waterproof layers, and plenty of dry clothes. 

Sun Protection: Colorado experiences over 300 days of sunshine. Bring sunscreen and a hat; you’ll need it, even in the winter. 

Layers: The mountains are always chilly, even in the summer. If you’re traveling in the fall, winter, or spring, prepare for snow. Pack layers for chilly mountain mornings if you’re traveling in the summer. 

Water & Food: A camper van lets you take everything you need on the road. Add a kitchen kit to your camper van to plan your meals during your journey. 

Campsites

Finding a campsite: camper vans fit in almost every standard-sized campsite and don’t require electrical or water hookups, making camping easy. 

Dispersed camping vs. campsites: A van makes dispersed camping easy. You can disperse camp for free on federal and BLM land. Plenty of apps help you find a dispersed camping site on your route. Book at least a few months before your trip if you’re considering booking a campsite in a national/state park or a private campsite.

Navigation

Phones & Chargers: Navigation is integral to your trip’s success. Make sure you bring a smartphone or GPS device and a charger. Download maps offline to have navigation access when you lose service.
