![]() NPS Photo by Dana Dick Qualified service animals assisting people with disabilities are allowed and must be controlled at all times. A service animal is defined as a dog or miniature horse that is trained to perform some of the functions and tasks that the individual with a disability cannot perform. Tasks may include carrying a pack for persons with mobility impairments, assisting persons with balance, or alerting medically dependent persons of specific conditions such as oncoming seizures. Service animals in training are not allowed on the trail. Companion animals that are used only to provide comfort or emotional support, sometimes known as therapy animals, and pets are not allowed in buildings or on the trail to the cliff dwellings. Service animals, companion animals, and pets are allowed on all other trails in the surrounding Gila Wilderness and need to be on a leash no more than 6 feet in length and under control at all times. |
