Service Animals

Service animals are allowed at Black Canyon of the Gunnison National Park. NPS policy defines a service animal as a dog that has been individually trained to do work or perform tasks for the benefit of an individual with a disability, including a physical, sensory, psychiatric, intellectual, or other mental disability. The tasks performed by the animal must be directly related to the person’s disability.

Emotional support, therapy, and companion animals are not service animals under the Americans with Disabilities Act (ADA), they have not been trained to provide a task directly related to a disability. Emotional support animals are considered to be a pet and can only go where permits are allowed.

Please visit the National Park Service's webpage for detailed information on bringing service animals to NPS sites.
