Good to know
- Around 6,000 ft elevation; the dry, thin air dehydrates dogs fast, so use the on-site water and watch for overheating even on mild days.
- Mountain weather flips quickly — afternoon storms and temperature drops are common, so check the sky before long visits.
- Dogs must be 4+ months, current on shots and license; leash required in the parking lot until inside the fenced area.
