Dogs are welcome on this trail, provided they are leashed. It's also recommended that pets are guarded against ticks, as the bugs can be prevalent along the trail during certain seasons.
To preserve this place, never leave anything behind, and make sure the rocks and natural order of things stay intact. Keep things clean, and the trail will remain stunning.
