Traveling with Pets
Like all of the Utah State Parks, Dead Horse Point is dog-friendly! You may bring your furry friends on all hiking and biking trails in the park, and into the campground. While doing so, we ask that you respect the following guidelines….
Pets must be leashed at all times, even while in the campground
In addition to protecting wildlife and sensitive biological soil crust, this also keeps your pet safe. Sadly, many dogs have been lost over the years while chasing objects or small rodents over the cliffside.
Pets are not allowed in the Wingate Yurts (or in vehicles outside the yurts)
We apologize for any inconvenience, but we are unable to accommodate pets in these structures. The unexpected danger that pet hair can pose to those suffering from severe allergies. Due to extreme heat danger (see below), we also cannot allow guests to leave their pets in vehicles while they are staying in the Wingate Yurts. If you do have pets and are looking to stay in our park, our Moenkopi Yurts are pet friendly.
Pets cannot be left in vehicles
Please keep in mind that on even a moderately warm, sunny day, the temperature inside your vehicle can quickly exceed 140 degrees Fahrenheit (60 Celsius). Neither cracking the windows nor leaving water will allow your pet to survive under these conditions.
Clean up after your pet
For your convenience, dog waste bag dispensers are located throughout the park. Help us keep the park clean! They can be found in our campgrounds, at the visitor center and Dead Horse Point Overlook.
If you have any questions about these policies, feel free to ask a park ranger for guidance. We hope you and your animal companions have fun out there!
