The most visited park in the country for a reason. 900 miles of hiking, camping, and interpretive centers surrounded by beauty. We both spent seasons as Rangers (many years ago) and would be happy to make suggestions. Dogs are not allowed on the trails in the park with two exceptions.

More hiking, views, and waterfalls. Dogs are allowed if leashed. Another favorite of ours, but the floods of 2021 left damage, and some areas may be closed. We are happy to answer your questions.
