Craters of the Moon Dog Policy

Craters of the Moon National Monument encompasses a large lava flow field spotted with sagebrush and islands of cindercones. Craters of the Moon has some of the strangest and amazing landscapes in the country.

Craters of the Moon National Monument is not very dog friendly, depending on what you're looking to do there. Dogs aren't allowed on any trails or in the visitor center. Dogs are only allowed along roads and in the campground while on a leash, and you can't leave them unattended.
