Dogs are not allowed in the backcountry or on trails in the national parks around Moab. Dogs must be on a leash if not in a vehicle. Pets must be leashed outside a car and only be walked on roads or in parking lots. Pets may accompany visitors in campgrounds.
Pets are prohibited from hiking trails, public buildings (i.e. visitor centers), and backcountry areas, including the Badlands Wilderness Area, and areas with prairie dog colonies. Pet etiquette dictates always cleaning up animal waste and disposing of it in trash receptacles.
Leashed dogs are welcome in the pet-friendly Black Hills National Forest in Custer, SD. The forest is made up of rugged rock formations, canyons, gulches, open grassland parks, streams and lakes.
