Dogs can join you on the trails and washes to spots like the Wedge Overlook and Little Grand Canyon rim. Keep dogs leashed or under close voice control, watch for cactus and cryptobiotic soil, and steer paws away from hot midday sandstone.
Summer heat on exposed rock and sand can burn paws and cause heat stress, so plan for early morning outings and carry water for your dog.
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.
