Castlewood Canyon south of Parker might be nice. Check out the open space hikes in the Greenland area too (west of I 25). South of Tomah Rd between Castle Rock and Colorado Springs.
Did/do you run hounds? |

Thanks, I'll check that out.
Don't run hounds. We just have two spoiled house dogs that my wife likes to take on hikes with us! |

There's a ton, man. Seriously. Just know that you're going to be in the snow and ice this early in the season, so bring appropriate gear - traction devices are a must, sometimes snowshoes will be required.
My favorite day hike in the area is Mills Lake in Rocky Mountain National Park, but that's not dog friendly. Another favorite in the park is Emerald Lake but, again, not dog friendly. |

Lothbrok,
Can dogs be on leash in the park and be fine, or do they have to stay in the car? Castlewood requires a leash. It should be dry ground there. http://cpw.state.co.us/placestogo/parks/CastlewoodCanyon |

We decided to stick close to home this weekend. We hit Walker Ranch Loop today and we're going up to Bear Peak tomorrow.

You may have noticed that it is still snowing. I wouldn't go backpacking right now unless you are prepared to deal with a blizzard.

I'm up on peak to peak highway outside of blackhawk. Lots of snowpack still above 8500ft. They are calling for rain all week, but 8-12 inches of snow on Saturday night in my AO  (I live at 8500) |
