DOG HIKING & DOG WALKING · ROARING FORK VALLEY
WE HIKE
VALLEY DOGS.
Small-pack and solo dog hiking with pickup and return throughout the Roaring Fork Valley. A real hour on the trail for them. A quieter afternoon for you.
ONE HIKING CLUB. A WHOLE VALLEY.
YOUR FRONT DOOR.
OUR NEXT TRAIL.
Hi Country Hounds brings structured trail time to dogs from Glenwood Springs and Carbondale through Basalt, Willits, El Jebel, Aspen, and Snowmass Village. Regular pickup and return are included across these valley communities. We pick them up, hike for a full hour, and bring them home.
Kasey leads local hikes from our Carbondale base as part of the HCH team. Every outing runs through the same HCH booking process, dispatch updates, live GPS tracking, trail photos, and hike reports.
Pickup is address-based and scheduled around the day’s route. Tell us where your dog lives or is staying, and we will confirm the fit.

MORE THAN A WALK AROUND THE BLOCK
THE TRAIL DOES
A LOT OF THE WORK.
A good hike gives dogs movement, changing smells, new terrain, and a reason to use their brains. The right crew adds familiar friends. The ride home usually gets very quiet.
Sustained trail time, with pace and terrain chosen for the dogs.
New smells and surroundings keep their brains busy too.
Compatible dogs can build a regular hiking routine together.

THE ROARING FORK FIELD GUIDE
GOOD TRAILS.
GOOD JUDGMENT.
The route changes with weather, footing, seasonal access, and the dogs. The standard does not.
DIRT. ROCK. SNOW.
MUD. REPEAT.
We choose the day’s route around conditions and the dogs on the outing.
THE RIGHT CREW.
THE RIGHT PACE.
Compatibility comes first. Every new dog begins with a solo First Adventure.
WE SHARE
THE MOUNTAIN.
On-leash handling is our default, with thoughtful spacing and room for other trail users.
YOUR DAY
KEEPS MOVING.
Arrange access ahead of time and you do not need to be home for pickup or return.
