Tommy visited Leadville, CO last weekend. Leadville is America's highest city at 10,200 feet above sea level. Needless to say, it wasn't exactly summer-like up there. But Tommy had a very good time anyway visiting all of the dog-friendly spots in the area.
We stayed at the Silver King Inn, a dog-friendly hotel. We were very lucky to find a dog-friendly restaurant, Tennessee
Pass Cafe, which had a back patio that was completely fenced-in where Tommy could roam free and play while we ate. We ate there twice. The food was delicious. The waitress was super-nice and let us come inside the restaurant with Tommy when it started raining.We visited a few shops that were friendly to dogs and we also toured the Tabor House, an historic home. Tommy was allowed inside the home and toured with us.
Best of all, we took the Leadville train, a 2.5 hour ride through the Mountains. This train-ride was also dog-
friendly. They even had complementary doggie-biscuits :) Tommy thoroughly enjoyed watching out the train window at the scenery and licking all of the childrens' hands. He also loved barking at the train whistle. He fell asleep on the way back to Leadville and then he slept the whole way back to Colorado Springs. A very good mini-vacation, indeed.
