Bryce Canyon National Park: the rule in full

Leashed pets are allowed on paved roads and viewpoints (except Piracy Point), on the Rim Trail between Sunset Point and Sunrise Point, and on the paved Shared Use Path between the park entrance and Bryce Point. Not on other trails or the shuttle. Nearby Red Canyon (US Forest Service) has more dog-friendly trails.
