Designated Pet Areas uploaded on 8 April 2008

A growing trend for rest areas is to have a separate area for Pet Walking and have signage to depict it. This was true of the Mohawk Rest area off of 1-17 in Arizona. The designated pet areas are away from the main traffic of a rest area, and are likely that way to prevent the human areas to be contaminated with the smell of the pet areas. It is key on a road trip to abide by these signs.

Grand Canyon with Woman's Best Friend uploaded on 8 April 2008

My dog Kita and I at the entrance to the Grand Canyon National Park. You just need someone to take a photo for you in order to make these shots work, or you will be like my other shots, trying to take a picture while holding onto the leash at the same time.

Queen of the Canyon uploaded on 8 April 2008

This is my dog Kita sitting on the wall of the South Rim of the Grand Canyon. I found parts of the park that were dog friendly and enjoyable. Travelling with her was a delight and I will happily do it again.

Outdoor Dining with Doggie uploaded on 8 April 2008

I have found that many restaurants nowadays will allow you to dine in their outdoor areas with your dog as long as they are well behaved, leashed and don't bother other patrons. I have a leash for my dog that has an attachment on the other end to secure a dog to something as well, so you don't have to worry about holding onto her while trying to eat yourself. It's always best to ask first, though, just to make sure of each places' policies.

Montezuma Castle National Monument uploaded on 7 April 2008

This is the entrance to the Visitor Center and museum. You pay your $5 fee, can get your national parks passport stamped, buy something from the gift shop or tour the small museum. I had to leave my dog in the car for this brief part, decided to skip the museum for that reason, but it looked very interesting.

Cave Homes Inside Montezuma Well uploaded on 7 April 2008

These cave home ruins are located down inside the Well's trails. They are excellent preserved and you can get pretty close. They are just one of the great things you can see at the Well site, and if your dog is with you, they can do it too!

Dog Friendly Patio at Grandma Tina's in Kanab uploaded on 7 April 2008

My dog Kita and I had the ultimate pleasure of dining at Grandma Tina's Cafe our last night in Kanab, Utah. It was a great experience for both of us. The manager brought Kita a huge bucket of water and a plate of pork chop bones, which as you can see, she devoured. This is the only picture I have of our wonderful experience, I wish I had gotten more, but I was too busy taking in the atmosphere, enjoying the excellent service, and eating!
