Colorado Trip with Toddler & Dog

We took our very first official family trip with our dog to Colorado.

Here’s a breakdown of our trip:

Flight Details: Fort Lauderdale > ATL > DEN Airport

Transportation: Took shuttle from airport to get a rental

Hotel: Home2 Suites by Hilton Denver West/Federal - pet friendly accommodation.

If you’re looking to find out what to do in Colorado with a 3 year old. This is what we did!

We had breakfast at the hotel to save cost and time. We walked our dog before starting the day. Our dog, Sushi, is a true homebody and doesn’t need much outside time. We are very lucky to have such a chill dog like her!

We try our best to maintain our routine - that means we schedule in nap time when planning our day.

ITINERARY

First day: Colorado Railroad Museum & Dinosaur Ridge

Second day: Colorado Railbike Adventures

Third day: Unplanned/Spontaneous day

Fourth Day: Leadville Railroad

Fifth Day: Travel Home

What works for us is having a day to rest and recuperate. Traveling can take a toll on our toddler and baby dog. It’s so much easier to finish the trip with ease.

Perhaps this rough guideline itinerary can help you plan your trip!
