DOG HIKING & DOG WALKING · WEST DENVER METRO
WEST DENVER DOGS.
MOUNTAIN PLANS.
Small-pack dog hiking and structured dog walking for dogs across Denver’s west side. We pick them up, head west, hit the trail, and bring them home with photos, GPS route tracking, and considerably fewer opinions about your evening plans.
FROM WEST DENVER TO THE FOOTHILLS
THE TRAIL IS
CLOSER THAN IT LOOKS.
Hi Country Hounds provides dog hiking and dog walking throughout the West Denver Metro, including Golden, Lakewood, Littleton, Arvada, Morrison, Wheat Ridge, and nearby west-side neighborhoods. The idea is simple: your dog gets a real Colorado outing without you having to carve a trail day out of your workday.
Our hikes stay small on purpose. We match dogs around temperament, energy, confidence, size, and handling needs, then head into the foothills for structured outdoor time with a crew that actually makes sense.

WALK THE BLOCK
OR LEAVE IT ENTIRELY.
Some days call for a structured neighborhood walk. Some call for dirt, trees, mountain air, and a dog crew. We do both.

THIS IS THE WHOLE POINT
YOUR DOG GETS
OUT OF TOWN.
Living in Golden, Lakewood, Littleton, Arvada, or west Denver means the foothills are close enough to use, but not always close enough to squeeze into the middle of a workday. That gap is basically our business model.
No trailhead logistics. No rearranging meetings. No loading the dog into your car at noon.
Foothill trails add elevation, surfaces, smells, and mental work that neighborhood pavement cannot replicate.
Compatible dogs become familiar hiking partners instead of random strangers in a giant group.
WEST METRO PICKUP ROUTES
WE KEEP THE ROUTE
TIGHT ON PURPOSE.
Less time zig-zagging across Denver means more time for the actual hike. Availability varies by neighborhood and day as routes grow.
GOLDEN
LAKEWOOD
WHEAT RIDGE
Strong foothill access and natural routing toward the mountain trail network.
LITTLETON
KEN CARYL
COLUMBINE
Pickup availability depends heavily on the day’s route, but these areas fit naturally into our west-side service expansion.
ARVADA
APPLEWOOD
EDGEWATER
West-side neighborhoods with direct access toward Golden and the foothills.

SMALL PACKS. BIG DIFFERENCE.
NOT A VAN FULL
OF RANDOM DOGS.
New dogs begin with a meet-and-greet and introductory adventure. From there, we match trail buddies around personality, energy, confidence, size, and handling needs. The goal is not the biggest group possible. The goal is a good crew.

WEST DENVER DOG HIKING FAQ

ANSWERS.
For west-side dog owners deciding whether this makes sense for their dog.

Current and growing routes include Golden, Lakewood, Littleton, Arvada, Morrison, Wheat Ridge, Applewood, Green Mountain, Genesee, Lookout Mountain, Ken Caryl, Columbine, Edgewater, and west Denver. Availability varies by day and neighborhood.
Do you pick dogs up before hiking?
Yes. Pickup and drop-off are central to the service. We pick dogs up from home, transport the small pack to the trail, and bring them back after the adventure.
How long are the dog hikes?
Most hikes include approximately 60 to 90 minutes of actual trail time, depending on route, weather, conditions, and the dogs participating that day.
Where do you take dogs hiking from West Denver?
Routes vary based on pickup geography, trail conditions, weather, and the pack. The goal is to get dogs onto appropriate foothill and mountain trails without wasting the whole outing driving across town.
Do you also offer dog walking?
Yes. Structured dog walking and drop-in visits are available throughout portions of the West Denver Metro for dogs that need a shorter midday outing.
How do dogs join a hiking group?
New dogs start with a meet-and-greet and introductory adventure so we can learn their personality, energy, confidence, and handling needs before matching them with compatible trail buddies.
