Dog-Friendly Yosemite

Yosemite Mariposa County is an ideal destination for people who travel with dogs and the resources on DogTrekker.com and Yosemite.com make planning effortless. Start by skimming DogTrekker’s Yosemite blog, where first‑paw accounts map out every season: spring waterfall walks along the Merced River, shady summer hikes on the Wawona Meadow Loop, golden‑leaf rambles through Mariposa Grove’s perimeter roads in autumn and peaceful winter strolls on the snow‑dusted Valley floor. Each story is written by dog people for dog people, so you’ll know exactly where leashes are required, how to pack and where to find pup‑friendly patios in downtown Mariposa or El Portal.
Then dive into Yosemite.com’s “Enjoying Yosemite Mariposa County with Pets” section for the park’s official rules and a handy trail list. You’ll discover paved paths to world‑class viewpoints—Tunnel View, Bridalveil Fall, and Lower Yosemite Fall—plus insider tips. Lodging recommendations range from dog‑friendly historic hotels and cozy cabins to RV parks with fenced play areas, many of which DogTrekker’s writers have “paw‑tested.”
Pair these two sites and you’ll have the complete playbook: inspiring stories, up‑to‑date regulations and trusted local businesses. The result? A Leave Only Paw Prints® adventure that lets you and your four‑legged explorer experience Yosemite’s towering granite walls, rushing rivers and starlit skies safely and responsibly.
