Flora & Fauna

Question

We want to bring our horses to Utah. Can we ride them through Zion, Brice, and Pariah Canyons?

Answer 1

Hello,

Thank you for your question! Bryce Canyon does allow horses brought into their parks to ride, however you must hire a guide to ride along with you. You can read more about that at this link: https://www.nationalparkstraveler.org/2014/03/you-can-ride-your-own-horse-bryce-canyon-national-park-you-have-hire-guide24806

As for Zion and Paria Canyons, they do offer horseback riding tours, but you would need to call in advance to bring in your own horses. You can call specific ranches in advance to see if they will allow your own stock onto the trails. You can get that Southern Utah ranch info here: http://www.visitsouthernutah.com/Horseback-Riding

Hi,

Thank you for your question!

Sequoia National Park has many must sees, but the essential sight would be the Giant Forest north of the Ash Mountain Sequoia entrance. This forest is filled with over 8,000 gigantic redwoods, including General Sherman, the largest living tree in the world. Second to the redwoods, would be the Tokopah Waterfall that cascades for nearly 1,200 feet. Thirdly, would be Moro Rock, the gigantic granite dome that provides fantastic views of the park.

Hope you have a wonderful visit,

Hi,

Thank you for your question! The state of California has very strict laws on coyote hunting and trapping. You must obtain a hunting license from the California Department of Fish and Wildlife, and can only hunt during certain seasons. You can read more specifics on this subject at this link: http://www.fgc.ca.gov/regulations/current/mammalregs.aspx.

Answer 6

Hi,

Thank you for reaching out to us! To answer your question, none of the parks you listed (Zion, Bryce, Arches, and Canyonlands) are recommend for traveling with dogs. If they are brought on park grounds however, they always need to be on a lease (6 feet in length) and can be out on park camping grounds, paved roads, picnic areas.

Enjoy your adventure!

Best,
