Quick Facts
Pets are not permitted on trails below the rim of the canyon, on shuttle buses, or in most guest rooms in lodges on the South Rim. Even if you are not staying overnight, please consider the dry climate, warm weather, and hot pavement or surfaces that can be painful or damaging to your animal. Leaving pets in vehicles during warm weather without proper care and precautions is prohibited.
The Grand Canyon Kennel can provide a safe place for your furry friend to stay while you explore all Grand Canyon has to offer.
