Leashed dogs can hike the steep trails that drop into the gorge toward the Gunnison River. Away from developed sites your dog can travel under voice control, but the terrain is rocky and the descents are demanding.
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.
