Travels with Rhea

Can your dog actually hike here?

Can dogs hike in Flathead National Forest?

Yes Yes. A leashed dog can use the trails.

The national forest wraps Glacier on the west and south and allows dogs on its trails.

Where dogs can go

The Swan Valley along MT-83, Jewel Basin Hiking Area, and trails around Bigfork and Kalispell.

Watch out for

Still grizzly country: leash on, bear spray on your body.

MT. On our route: around Oct 15 to 23. Rules change: check the park's own pet page before you go. Rhea is never boarded or kenneled; where she can't go, we find somewhere she can.
