Pets on a leash no longer than 6 feet are allowed in many areas of Capitol Reef National Park, located in Utah’s south-central desert. Pets are allowed in the developed areas of the park: within 50 feet of center line of roads (paved and dirt) open to public vehicle travel; parking areas open to public vehicle travel; in unfenced and/or unlocked orchards; in the Chestnut and Doc Inglesbe picnic areas; on the trail from the visitor center to the Fruita Campground; on the Fremont River Trail from the campground to the south end of Hattie’s Field (where there is a gate); and in the campgrounds. Pets are not permitted on other hiking trails, in public buildings, or in the backcountry.
