Yosemite National Park

Not dog friendly. Dogs on leash on pavement only NO trails.
If dog cant go I don't go.

Dog Friendly Trail/Village

Surprisingly, dogs are allowed on paved roads in Yosemite. I had the pleasure of visiting Yosemite last week and we took my 2 dogs and we walked to Lower Yosemite Falls, which is very dog friendly Also, we spent a few hours near the Village area and there were even water bowls for the dogs. There are a lot of deer and squirrels to be aware of. Also, we took the dogs to watch the sunset at Glacier Point and it was amazing. There were 2 other dogs there too. It gets a little crowded so arrive to watch the sunset early. The other walk we took was to mirror lake. I would stick to the road since it is a bit more secluded at that part of the valley. Have a great trip!
