Planning on visiting Yosemite with your dog? As much as we love our furry family members, national parks are not always the best place for pets. The B.A.R.K. Ranger Code is an easy way to remember how to visit Yosemite responsibly by doing the following: Bag your pet’s waste, Always leash your pet, Respect Wildlife, and Know where you can go. Help keep Yosemite wild by always abiding by the B.A.R.K. Ranger Code on your visit, or leave your pet at home if this might be difficult. Pets who do not follow the B.A.R.K. Ranger Code can damage park resources, disturb wildlife in their natural habitat, participate in unsafe activities, and impact the experience of other visitors.
