Pets must be leashed at all times. Leashed pets are allowed on trails and throughout the developed areas. Pets are not permitted inside public buildings such as the visitor center, offices, museum and public restrooms. The only exception would be a service animal, provided they are on a leash as well.

Important!

Heat can be deadly for pets. Car temperatures rise quickly in the sun, even on cool days. Your pet can easily die of heat exhaustion. If you are leaving a pet in a car, crack the windows as much as possible and leave water to drink. We recommend you not leave pets in the car at all when temperatures are above 68 degrees, even with the windows cracked.

Please Remember

When you bring you pets to the park:

  • keep your pet on a leash and under control
  • clean up after you pet and dispose of waste in a trash receptacle
  • bring plenty of water for yourself and pet
  • ensure your pet never chases wildlife or digs holes
  • NEVER leave you pet unattended, tied to an object, or in a car without ventilation or water

Did You Know?
The Pueblo of Pecos has been called the “birth place of southwestern archeology.” From 1915-1927 the excavations conducted in Pecos, by AV Kidder, resulted in the first stratigraphy to date ancient dwellings. The stratigraphy became the foundation for archeologists conducting excavations in the SW.
