Went during the winter so the dog could enjoy the park with us. She absolutely loved the various trails, none of the ones we did were too long but all had amazing views.
All trails in this amazing park are dog friendly. There are plenty of geologic features to explore with your buddy, but make sure you go when the weather is not that hot. We went in mid March and it was already at bit too warm for longer hikes.
We dug up 3 pictures of dogs at Valley of Fire State Park.
