Can I bring my dog to Yellowstone National Park? Grand Teton National Park?

Pets are not permitted in the majority of the country's national parks, however they are welcome on roads and in "barking" lots! That being said dogs are allowed in the National Forests - Gros Ventre is a favorite. The following map created by PAWs of Jackson Hole is a life-saver (double-click for a larger version):

Paws of Jackson Hole's must-know tips for you and your dog

  • On Pathways, In Town: Dogs must be on leash

  • On Pathways, Out of Town: Off Leash, under voice control

  • Always scoop the poop! Trails with pet waste could lose their designation as a pet-friendly pathway or park

  • Always carry a leash, which helps protect your pet from dangerous wildlife and fast bicycles

  • Teach your dog to calmly exit your vehicle. Many trailheads have busy traffic and/or blind corners

  • If you encounter another user on the trail (biker, skier, jogger) please yield to the other user. Pull your dog off to the side of the trail in a heel position until the other user has passed

  • Never allow your dog to chase wildlife

"Meat" Juanita - 9 months, Black Lab, Favorite spot: Levee by the Snake River
