[pct-l] What areas are off-limits for dogs?

[patti kulesz]

Actually in Yosemite...dogs are allowed on the JMT up to Donahue Pass and then i think if I remember right u have to back track a little and take another trail to Tuolumne where the dogs can stay at the camp as long as they're not in the group camp. There are actually designated trails for them in Yosemite, which are more like dirt roads....but they are allowed out there in some places. Also they are allowed to go on the Devil's Postpile trail...but we thru hikers aren't...nice huh? LOL 

so if u want to check that out u have to shower and look respectable first. I found that out last Sept when  I was hiking from there to Lake of the Lone Indian...doing a loop back...met a JMT hiker and he said the trail actually used to go through Devil's Postpile but they changed it to go around the Postpile b/c the tourist were getting offended by our stench...the nerve eh?

A quick google for a start found this info on the respective park
brochures:


NATIONAL PARKS:

SeKi, Yosemite, and Lassen - no dogs on trails

Lassen NP - no dogs on trails

Crater Lake NP - could not find answer

Mt Rainer NP - dogs allowed on PCT only if on leash, not allowed on
other trails



CALIFORNIA STATE PARKS:

Anza-Borrego Desert - no dogs on trails 
-(from roughly Garnet Peak (north of Noble Canyon) to around Third Gate
in San Felipe Hills)

Mt. San Jacinto Wilderness - no dogs in wilderness 
-(state park only - Deer Springs Trail to halfway down Fuller Ridge)

Lake Silverwood - no dogs on swim beaches

MacArthur-Burney Falls - no dogs on trails (except Pioneer Cemetery

Maybe others can complete this list and add it to the FAQ.
