Tails of Yosemite

You want to travel with your dog. You want to see Yosemite National Park, but you’ve heard of the restrictions on pets. Do you do it?

Visions of Half Dome, Yosemite Falls, Sentinel Rocks and El Capitan tug at you. You load the pooches in the car and become one of the nearly 30 million adults in the United States who have traveled more than 50 miles away from home with their pets in the past three years (78 percent of which are dogs). You hope your dog will enjoy it as much as you.

Most of the park’s grand features can be seen with dog in tow — and always onleash. From viewpoints in the park, you can see Yosemite Valley, Bridalveil Fall, Merced River Canyon, Hetch Hetchy Reservoir, Tuolumne Meadows and more. Just park in a turnout and enjoy the view.
