Dog Walking in Mosca
Families who enjoy the history of Colorado and spending time hiking through national forests will love the town of Mosca. Located off highway 17, Mosca is about three hours southwest of Colorado Springs, and offers a quiet and peaceful destination where pups can explore and spend time in the outdoors. Living in a rural area will also require you to travel a little farther for Fido’s medical needs. The closest veterinarian clinic is in Monte Vista about twenty miles west of town.
Mosca is situated in between the Rio Grande National Forest and the Great Sand Dunes National Park. You can take the family and your pup to hike along the trails and admire the amazing views of the Dunes. The campground in the Dunes National Park offers a place for primitive camping, and there are picnic tables and grills where you can make some burgers. Your pup will love walking through the area exploring all the sights and sounds.
Another fun nearby destination is the Pinon Flats Campground on the eastern edge of the Great Sand Dunes Park. There is a visitor’s center where you can check in and the Rangers will help answer questions. Pups are always welcome, just be sure to keep Fido on his leash. You can hike along the dunes and then return to your campsite for a hot shower. During the summer season, there is a camp store where you can buy necessities and even some treats for your pup.
If you and your pooch are looking for outdoor adventures, Mosca is the perfect destination. You can spend time with the family and your furry friends hiking through the forests, visiting local parks, and admiring the amazing Colorado views.
