Curator’s statement

Traveling with your pet friends can be difficult at times. I have definitely gotten a few "looks" when bringing my dog Sunny into Restaurants or on the plane with me. If you're looking for a pet-friendly destination, look no further than Aspen. Not only do many accommodations allow animals, they view them as a member of your family. It is such a great all-season destination to travel to with your furry friends!
