How To Have A Dog-Friendly Moab WeekendMoab is one of my favorite road trips from Denver – the hiking, biking & off-roading trails are seemingly endless. However, with the National Parks, it can be a little tough to find a way to find hikes that are dog-friendly, but it’s possible! Authorskyliebearse

Dog-Friendly Hikes

Corona Arch
(2.4 miles / 482 ft. Elevation Gain) AKA Little Rainbow Bridge, this hike is short but strenuous, taking most people around 2 hours. But you'll get to pass by two bonus arches ( Pinto Arch and Bowtie Arch) along the way.

Hidden Valley Trail Head
(4 miles / 1,170 ft. Elevation Gain) Located in the cliffs directly south of Moab, this hike boasts desert views, towering rock faces, and best of all, a petroglyph panel. It takes people around 3 hours to complete, due to the steepness of the trail.

Mill Creek Waterfall
(1.8 miles / 65 ft. Elevation Gain) THE place to be on a hot day! This chill hike leads through a winding canyon up to a cool, gushing falls.

Grandstaff Canyon National Recreation Trail
(3.0 miles / 679 ft. Elevation Gain) Winding through a red rock canyon, crossing streams and rivers, and taking in the view is why this trail needs 3-4 hours. Take it slow and soak up that desert sun! Note that this trail is for hikers only!

Jeep Arch
(3.7 miles / 954 ft. Elevation Gain) AKA Gold Bar Arch, this trail has amazing views of the Culvert Canyon, Gold Bar Rim, Amasa Back, Behind the Rocks, and the LaSal Mountains! Do you see why it's named after the popular off-roading vehicle now?!

Dog-Friendly Stays & Camping

Gravity Haus Moab
We’re huge fans of Gravity Haus, so I was really excited to see they had a new property in Moab that opened last fall. I love that each location leans into their corner of the outdoor world – art featuring all of Utah’s stunning rock formations covered the walls. My favorite part of our room was the bike-rack wall featuring a built-in can opener! Plus, Gravity Haus is so dog-friendly. They have a dog bowl next to the human’s welcome water as you’re checking in. Every member of the staff stopped to say hi to Brewster and give him love. The highlight of Gravity Haus Moab is absolutely the pool and hot tub area!

Gold Bar Group Campground
Camping in Moab is a bit of a free-for-all when it comes to the BLM sites. One trip, I spent four hours driving around looking for an open site. Other times, I’ve been lucky and snagged a spot early. My favorite campsite I’ve stayed at is Gold Bar Campground, which is just below the Corona Arch Trailhead. This campground was right on the river, and we spent both nights sitting on the rocks watching the sun go behind the red rocks.
