Abbi, the Explore Colorado adventure dog

Your Colorado adventure companion

Ask Abbi

Hi, I’m Abbi. Tell me what you would love to do and I’ll shape it around you — dog-friendly trails, scenic drives, campgrounds, waterfalls, and the places to stay and eat nearby.

Press Ask Abbi, or tap an example below to start.

Ask a question above and Abbi will take it from here.

What Abbi is good at

Abbi knows the whole guide — every verified trail, campground, drive, waterfall, park, ghost town, peak, and ski area on this site. Tap any question to load it into the box above.

Dog-friendly everything

The rule nobody else checks: whether your dog is actually allowed, leashed, or banned outright — trail by trail, park by park.

Shaping a whole weekend

Give her a region, a date, and who is coming. She will build a plan that fits the drive times instead of the map’s wishful thinking.

Matching effort to people

Grandparents, toddlers, a nervous beginner, or someone chasing their first fourteener — the honest version of “easy” changes for each.

Permits, fees, and closures

Timed entry, waivers, parking reservations, seasonal roads. She will tell you what to book before you drive.

Where to stay and eat

Slopeside versus the value town down-valley, campgrounds versus cabins, and the streets where locals actually eat.

Season and weather timing

When the wildflowers peak, when the passes open, when the falls actually roar, and when to skip a place entirely.

A word of honesty: Abbi is an AI planning companion, not a live conditions feed. Hours, fees, permits, closures, and dog rules change — sometimes overnight — so confirm anything perishable with the business or the land manager before you go. For regulated trails, start with our Trail Status Board.
Explore Colorado — Before You Go

Travel responsibly

Before You Go

Adventure begins with preparation. Colorado weather, road conditions, trail access, wildfire restrictions, permits, and seasonal closures can change quickly. Information may also change after publication, so verify important details before every trip.

Before heading out

  • Verify current weather and local conditions.
  • Check road, trail, pass, and seasonal closures.
  • Confirm permits, reservations, fees, and timed-entry requirements.
  • Carry appropriate gear, navigation, food, water, and emergency supplies.
  • Share your itinerary when traveling into remote or backcountry areas.
  • Know your limits and turn around when conditions become unsafe.

Planning notice: Explore Colorado provides information for inspiration and trip planning only. It is not a substitute for official information, professional instruction, navigation tools, or personal judgment. Maps, routes, mileage, travel times, access details, and seasonal recommendations should not be used as the sole basis for navigation or safety decisions. Travelers are responsible for verifying current information and choosing activities appropriate for their experience, health, equipment, and the conditions encountered.
