Obtain an Access Pass from the park entrance station. Learn more about the Access Pass. Service AnimalsDogs classified as service animals are individually trained to perform a specific task that assists a person with a disability. Service dogs are legally permitted anywhere that visitors can go. It is strongly advised to bring dog boots for your service dog to protect their paws from hot, rough surfaces when hiking in the park. Learn more about requirements for service animals. Emotional support, therapy, and companion animals, as well as service animals in training, are not service animals and must abide by all pet regulations and are not allowed in buildings, caves, or on trails.
