Can your dog actually hike here?
Can dogs hike in White Sands National Park?
Yes Yes. A leashed dog can use the trails.
Dogs are allowed on the dunes and every trail, which almost no national park allows.
Where dogs can go
The dunefield, every trail including Alkali Flat, and the sunset drive.
Watch out for
The white gypsum throws heat and glare even in November, so the awning is her shade. Missile tests can close the park for a few hours.
NM. On our route: around Nov 28 to Dec 4. 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.
