Pets on a leash no longer than 6 feet are allowed in only a few areas of Canyonlands National Park, located in southeastern Utah. Pets are allowed along established front-country roads; in parking areas; in established front-country campgrounds; and in picnic areas. Pets are not permitted on any hiking trails, or anywhere off-trail, even while in a carrier; at any overlooks; in the visitor center or any building; and in the backcountry (including vehicles on backcountry roads, and on any river trips). Pets may be transported inside vehicles driving the Shafer Trail to Potash Road at Island in the Sky. When the road to Beef Basin via Cathedral Butte is closed by snow/mud, persons with pets are allowed to cross the Needles district via the Elephant Hill-Devil’s Lane/Bobby’s Hole roads.
