Bryce canyon camping with dogs8/8/2023 ![]() And I have serious FOMO so you can trust me when I say, you will not feel like you missed out if you follow this itinerary. 6 *optional* viewpoints if you want to check all viewpoints off your bucket list!Īll together, this will be approximately a 9 hour day, so I suggest starting at about 9AM (or earlier, if you’re down!).3 of the best Bryce Canyon hiking trails.Frequently asked questions about the park.Aside from one trail off Highway 12 (which we will be visiting), the park is essentially one long road with 13 viewpoints (and several hiking trails) along the way. You can see all the Bryce Canyon highlights with this one day itinerary (and still have time to spare!).īryce Canyon is actually pretty small – at about 36,000 acres it ranks among the top 15 smallest National Parks. ![]() Each one links to the pet section of its NPS listing.Hoodoos, Natural Arches, Waterfalls and more! Below is the complete ranking of every national park according to how dog-friendly it is. We created our ranking of America’s most dog-friendly national parks using the latest available information on the NPS website. Service dogs are permitted on Isle Royale as long as they have a permit whereas service animals are only welcome in the mainland visitor centre on the Channel Islands, hence its position in last place. To protect the islands’ unique wildlife, neither park allows any pets to enter. Imasillypirate/Shutterstock Yosemite in 11th is good for dogsĪt the bottom of the table, unsurprisingly, are the island-based national parks of Isle Royal in Michigan and the Channel Islands in California. The lowest-ranked is Glacier Bay in 60th which only allows leashed pets in a handful of developed areas. It has almost no restrictions for dogs along its trails, in its backcountry or in the Kennecott Mines National Historic Landmark area. Elias is the highest-ranked Alaskan national park. However, not only are Alaska’s parks extremely remote, making them challenging to access, particularly for people with dogs, they are also home to wildlife such as wolves, grizzly bears and moose, all of which are exceptionally dangerous to pups. ![]() America’s 49th state is home to six of the 10 least-visited national parks as well as some of the country’s largest tracts of wilderness. The wilds of Alaska should, in theory, be a pooch’s paradise. Kara Arceneaux/Shutterstock Grand Canyon is ranked 10th However, these parks haven’t ranked as highly as others because they have fewer trails – just 42km (26mi) in Hot Springs’ case – and therefore don’t provide an enjoyable experience for dogs or their owners. Some of the more urban parks, such as Hot Springs (12th), have almost no restrictions on where dogs can go. Other top-performing national parks are Petrified Forest, New River Gorge and White Sands, which are all pretty lenient with where dogs can go. Some trails are off-limits to pets while others are not recommended for safety reasons. Shenandoah is closely followed by Acadia – New England’s only national park – which has 161km (100mi) of hiking trails and 72km (45mi) of carriage roads where dogs are allowed. The park is also within easy reach of Washington DC and allows dogs in all campgrounds and in pullouts on Skyline Drive, the stunning public road running 169km (105mi) along the crest of the Blue Ridge Mountains. ![]() This includes the 186km (115.5 mi) of the Appalachian Trail that traverses the park. Of its 800km (500mi) of hiking trails, only 32km (20mi) are off-limits to dogs. Sandra Foyt/Shutterstock White Sands is great for dogs We’ve ranked Shenandoah National Park in Virginia as the most dog-friendly national park in America. What makes a national park dog-friendly depends on several metrics including how many miles of dog-accessible trails the park has, how safe it is for your dog and the local flora and fauna, if there are pet-friendly lodgings (including campgrounds) nearby, if there are local kennel services available, if viewpoints are accessible to dogs, and if there are any travel restrictions which could stop you and your dog accessing the park.
