Can I bring my dog, and on which trails?
Dog-friendly

Dogs are welcome across this remote monument on a leash no longer than 6 feet, and Pattersons Pass Campground allows pets. Cherry Creek Campground does not, so plan camping around that.

Leashed dogs are allowed on the monument's roads and undeveloped routes and in day-use and camping areas. Dogs must wear current tags and be leashed anytime they are outside a vehicle or tent.

Leash rule

A 6-foot leash is required in developed recreation areas like campgrounds, trailheads, and picnic sites. On most of the open BLM land there is no leash law, but your dog must be under control at all times, and local field offices can set stricter rules.

Service animals

Service animals are allowed where pets are not, under the ADA. A leash is still required.
