18 acre ranch with beautiful landscape, views of horses and occasionally wildlife depending on time of day. You are welcome to pet the horses but do not feed. Please do not allow your dogs to bark, growl or charge the horses (even though they are behind fences). All the horses are calm and easy around dogs, which we need it to stay that way. We have a fully fenced area roughly 10 acres with mowed paths for walking. You are welcome to walk thru the field if desired. There are random balls and toys in the field for use, water is available and if we are home during your visit should the restroom be needed we will honor use of that. You are welcome to bring agility or equipment and toys each visit if desired or practice nosework. We are also open to hosting groups, such as agility, nosework or trainers who need a large outdoor space that is fully fenced. Off street parking and can accommodate large vehicles. Small dogs are welcome, do note the fencing is graduated so depending on size of dog, some real tiny ones who are escape artists may not be the best fit. Thank you for considering spending time and enjoying our property as much as we do.

Great Sniffspot, the owner was very nice! Had beautiful views and didn’t see any other people or dogs while walking around :)

Loved just wandering the hillside! Definitely wear long pants if you can and check your dog for grass-ons afterwards. A few little deer paths but mostly just going through grass and trees :) a great time! Didn’t see any dogs

Beautiful drive up the foothills. Shaded with trees and tall grasses. Wonderful host. My dogs had a lot of fun exploring. I did have to spend quite a bit of time removing grass awns from their feet and feathers…but I am hyper conscious from a previous surgery for an embedded grass awn.

Nice private area. Picked up lots of tiny burrs so long haired dogs be prepared. Host is very nice. Private road was not difficult to navigate.

Jessica was wonderful!! Our pup had never been hiking due to being reactive to other dogs. Ollie was able to go on a real mountain adventure!! Beautiful area, trail marked perfectly!! We will definitely be back!

Beautiful property, and worth the hour drive from Wellington! Trail was easily marked and the pup had a blast. Thank you for creating a safe spot!

My dog and I had the best time exploring the trails on Jess's property. My dog was so tired from exploring that he was ready to go home early! Will make the trip back!

Awesome hiking areas and great scenic views. My golden and Great Dane had a blast exploring the trails. We even saw a handful of deer during our adventure. The area was clean and had good shading but the trails may not be for everyone.

Jessica’s spot exceeded our expectations! What a fun spot. Jessica greeted us on this snowy day to open the gate and show us around the property. The dogs absolutely LOVED running around and following the trail.

Awesome spot! So lovely at sunset- how cool with all the trails marked. Jess was lovely and accommodating! We can’t wait to be back

Jess was communicative and on time to meet me. She gave clear instructions on how to get to the location as well as how best to enjoy our visit. The Dogs loved being able to run and sniff and explore! It was nice and quiet for me as well and what a treat to be able to hike with no one else around. We will go again! I would say, check your dogs feet as there a quite a few cacti along the way.

Beautiful spot, serene with some fun birdwatching and a lovely little trail through the woods. My adolescent pitty had a blast sniffing and exploring and I got to just relax and let him follow his nose. Jess was lovely and explained where the trail went (plus it’s marked!) so I felt confident we were never wandering where we shouldn’t. As a side note, be aware that Sniffspot seems to underestimate the spot’s distance from town. The spot is about 40 minutes from downtown Loveland and Ft Collins but it was so worth the drive.

This spot is beautiful! This is a great little hike for folks with reactive dogs because you will not run into other dogs or people. There are burr seeds right now that your long haired pup will pick up so bring a brush to clean them up with. The host Jessica is very responsive to messages and super friendly and helpful. We had a great time!

What a great place! Very peaceful, beautiful and most importantly plenty of room for the dogs! Great host, and an amazing drive up the mountain.

Gina S.

June 2024

This was so perfect for our pups! They are siblings and both dog reactive to strange dogs so it makes hiking hard for them. This was a great place to meet up and let them hike together without fear of a dog around the corner. The drive up is absolutely gorgeous!! And the property itself has awesome views! Jess was friendly and helpful! Would 10/10 do again!

Lexis G.

Great spot to let my reactive dog run and explore! We enjoyed the main loop trail, which was well marked.

Sarah A.

October 2024

Beautiful drive to this property. The loop is short but plenty of incline for my senior pup. I lost the trail at one point, but my doggo found it again fast.

Amanda C.

November 2024

Favorite sniffspot so far!!! And we’ve been to a lot! Jess and her partner are so sweet, and their property is GORGEOUS!!! Got a little lost where the trail was, but hey the dogs loved that! We’ll be back again and again!

We had a BLAST. This is by far a favorite kind of Sniffspot. Lots of smells with the plant life and terrain, beauty, leisurely hiking, and overall exploring. Owner is super friendly and gives you an idea of how the land goes. 10/10 recommend for those with good recall (unfenced and with 1 or 2 neighbors but almost unnoticed) Owners also reported there are no neighborhood dogs to worry about.

Jennifer K.

Brody and I had such a fun time! Brody's reactive but LOVES hiking, so it was nice to be able to go on a hike of sorts and not worry about other dogs or people. Our only regret is that we didn't book a longer visit!

FAQ about our Loveland dog hiking trails

Are dog hiking trails safe?

While public dog parks have a number of safety issues, such as aggressive dogs, inattentive owners, disease transmission and general cleanliness, Sniffspot dog parks are much safer than a city or county park. With a Sniffspot off-leash area all bookings are private for just you and dogs you bring with you and we require all dogs to be vaccinated (or have equivalent titers). All Sniffspot locations are vetted and reviewed by guests so you can find the perfect place for you and your dog. 93% of reviews on Sniffspot visits are 5 stars. Our hiking trails tend to be outside the city, which lends to more privacy, but it is also important to follow typical hiking safety precautions, such as potentially having trail maps.
