When traveling with your dog, please help to Keep it Gorgeous by picking up all of your dog’s waste. Learn more.
Please remember that dogs must be leashed on most trails in the region. Be considerate to others who may not be comfortable with dogs (even little ones!), and always bring a waste back to pick up your pet’s waste.
In the summer, it’s important to keep dogs leashed due to snakes. In the desert, we see Bull Snakes and Rattlesnakes pretty often. Be sure to keep your furry friend safe!
