Canyonlands Dog Policy
Canyonlands National Park is Not Dog Friendly
This landscape was eroded into a maze of canyons, buttes, and mesas by the combined efforts of the Colorado River, Green River, and their tributaries, which divide the park into three districts. The park also contains rock pinnacles and arches, as well as artifacts from Ancient Pueblo peoples.[1]
Canyonlands National Park is not very dog friendly, depending on what you're looking to do there. While dogs are allowed at front-country campgrounds, and along front-country roads, they're not allowed on any trails, in the backcountry, or in buildings. Dogs are also not even allowed at overlooks.
