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.
