Dress up your pets and show them off in a parade around the Arch. **Note: there will be no prizes for the parade. All dogs are good boys and girls.

If you can’t join this one, we hope you can check out the other B.A.R.K. Ranger events next year, to learn how to have a positive experience with your pet in unfamiliar environments. Learn the B.A.R.K. principles so you and your pet can have a safe and fun visit anytime you go to a national park. This program is part of the Healthy People Healthy Parks Initiative.

Remember, B.A.R.K. stands for:

B – Bag your pet’s waste

A – Always leash your pet

R – Respect wildlife

K – Know where you can go
