Today's Tip from the vets at BAH:

Trail etiquette: Always be aware of any restrictions that may be on your chosen trail. Your dog should be under control at all times. Dogs that are excessively barking, aggressive, or chasing animals are not under control. Remember that although your dog may just want to be friends, that is not always true for the other people and dogs on the trial.

National Park B.A.R.K rule:
• Bag your pet's waste
• Always leash your pet
• Respect wildlife
• Know where you can go.

San Juan National Forest rules read as:

On Wilderness Trails...
• Leash your dog around packers, horses, and stock animals(including stock/working dogs)
• Dogs must always be under strict leash or voice control. • Maintain control of your dog at all times. Ensure your dog is a good steward of the land and respects other visitors
• Make sure that you have enough water for your canine companion.
• Please do not approach or harass wildlife or livestock or working dogs.
• Walk around and not through groups of wildlife or livestock.
• If you encounter wildlife or livestock, make them aware of you presence and move slowly.
