Dogs can join you on the slickrock loops and the rim trails that look out toward Zion. Keep your dog leashed or under close voice control around mountain bikers, who move fast on the singletrack.
Summer heat is severe and the exposed slickrock gets very hot underfoot. Hike early and carry all the water your dog needs, since there is none on the mesa.
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 are allowed where pets are not, under the ADA. A leash is still required.
