Stretching for hundreds of miles from Lees Ferry in Arizona to the Orange Cliffs of southern Utah, the recreation area encompasses scenic vistas, geologic wonders, and unparalleled opportunities for water-based and backcountry recreation. Pets are not permitted in the following areas: All archeological sites; all marinas, docks, walkways, and launch ramps, except when proceeding directly to or from a boat; along the San Juan River from Clay Hills Crossing upstream to the Glen Canyon NRA boundary as designated by required permit available through the Bureau of Land Management; the portion of Cathedral Wash between the road and the Colorado River; Orange Cliffs special permit area; and Rainbow Bridge NM, except for pets in vessels at the courtesy docks. Dogs and other companion animals are prohibited from entering Coyote Gulch within the boundaries of GCNRA. This prohibition includes all dogs or other pet animals used to carry or transport recreational equipment or food.
