| **Color** | **Icon** | **Meaning** |

| **Green** | Dog| Pets allowed (almost) everywhere in the park, including multiple trails|

| **Blue** | Hiker / Trailhead | Pets allowed on one or more trails, check park rules & seasonal restrictions on [NPS.gov](https://nps.gov) before visiting |

| **Yellow** | Car | Pets only allowed where cars can go, such as paved roads & campgrounds |

| **Red** | Park Ranger | Pets not allowed 😔 |

Before visiting any park and to get the most up-to-date pet rules and regulations, please visit the [**National Park Service**](https://www.nps.gov/learnandexplore/index.htm) website.
