DOG CARE, BAILEY EDITION

THE BACKYARD IS
PRETTY RIDICULOUS.

Hi Country Hounds provides dog hiking and dog walking in Bailey, Colorado for dogs that need a real outlet while their people handle work, errands, travel, or normal human scheduling chaos. We pick your dog up at home, head for the trails with a small group of compatible dogs, and bring them back happy, tired, and usually a little dirtier than when we found them.

Bailey sits farther up the 285 corridor, where mountain roads, forest, weather, wildlife, and big open spaces are part of normal life. Our service is built around that reality. Groups stay small, new dogs are introduced thoughtfully, and each hike is matched to the dogs and conditions in front of us.

THE BAILEY PLAN WE DRIVE THE MOUNTAIN ROADS. YOUR DOG GETS THE GOOD PART. Pickup, trail time, route tracking, photos, and a very serious post-hike appointment with the couch.

BAILEY PACK MEMBERS

BAILEY TRAIL COUNTRY

UP THE CORRIDOR.
INTO THE GOOD STUFF.

Bailey puts us close to a huge range of mountain terrain. Depending on the day, conditions, and the dogs in the pack, adventures may use trails throughout Bailey, Pine, Conifer, Evergreen, and the surrounding foothills.

STAUNTON STATE PARK AREA

Nearby Pine offers miles of natural-surface mountain trails through meadows, forest, rocky terrain, and higher-elevation Colorado scenery.

PINE VALLEY RANCH AREA

The Pine and Bailey side of the corridor gives us access to forest, river, meadow, and foothill terrain when the day calls for a different kind of route.

THE BIGGER 285 CORRIDOR

Bailey connects naturally with Pine, Conifer, and the wider mountain corridor, which gives us options when snow, mud, heat, traffic, or trail conditions change the plan.

BUILT FOR COLORADO DOGS

SUN. SNOW. MUD.
WHATEVER.

We hike year-round and adjust routes, pace, and expectations to the mountain conditions in front of us.

SMALL PACKS

BETTER CONTROL.
BETTER MATCHES.

Small groups give dogs room to settle into the crew and give us better control around other trail users, dogs, wildlife, bikes, and horses.

FIRST ADVENTURE

WE ACTUALLY
GET TO KNOW THEM.

New dogs start with an introduction and first adventure before moving into compatible groups. Some join quickly. Some need more time. Both are fine.

CONDITIONS

THE ROUTE
ISN’T SACRED.

Snow, heat, mud, wind, closures, and trail traffic can change the plan. We choose the outing that makes sense that day.

LOGISTICS

WE HANDLE
THE WHOLE THING.

Pickup, transport, water, trail time, photos, route tracking, and getting your dog back home are part of the adventure.
