Yosemite National Park Wildlife And Your Pet Yosemite National Park wildlife will go after your pet. So if you come with a dog or other beloved animal, follow these rules, keep them on a leash and don't leave them unattended. Yosemite National Park facilities do include a kennel. There is an open air kennel at the horse stables in Yosemite Valley. It is only open during the summer months and dogs must weigh at least 10 pounds to be boarded here. This is the perfect place to leave your pet if you want to go on any Yosemite hikes. Pets are not allowed to hike with you on Yosemite hiking trails. In the summer months pets are allowed to stay with you if you are staying at the following campgrounds: Upper Pines, Wawona, Bridalveil Creek, Hodgdon Meadow, Crane Flat, White Wold, Yosemite Creek and up in Tuolumne Meadows. In the winter months your pet is only allowed in these campgrounds: Upper Pines, Wawona and Hodgdon Meadow. All pets must be on a leash, no longer than 6 feet, at all times while they are in Yosemite National Park. You may take your pet for a walk on any of the bike trails or paved roads in Yosemite. Pets are not allowed in any of the buildings. And you may not leave your pet alone in the campground or in your vehicle. Rangers regularly check campgrounds and parked vehicles for pets and food. Why? Because pets and their food attract bears! If you violate either rule, there s a steep fine. Check Out The Bears And Other Wildlife Here In Yosemite
