Travels with Rhea

Can your dog actually hike here?

Can dogs hike in Glacier National Park?

No No. Dogs stay off the trails.

Dogs stay on roads, pullouts and campgrounds, with no trails and no lakeshores at all.

Where dogs can go

Going-to-the-Sun Road pullouts, St. Mary and Apgar campgrounds, parking and picnic areas, on a 6-ft leash.

What we do instead

Cut in the Sep 27 re-route: the west leg now crosses Montana after Going-to-the-Sun closes. Yellowstone's north side and the larch valleys took its place.

Watch out for

Grizzly country in feeding season. A loose dog is the classic trigger for a charge.

MT. On our route: Cut from the route. Rules change: check the park's own pet page before you go. Rhea is never boarded or kenneled; where she can't go, we find somewhere she can.
