This is one of the reasons I recommend not bringing pets. They do interefere with social things. If you are heading to Moab after GOX, be aware that Canyonlands and Arches do not allow pets of any kind, even in vehicles.

Dogs are fun to take wheeling, but for something with so much going as GOX, we're leaving our Rudy behind for a week, and I recommend others think hard about it.

Dogs need to be leashed when outside vehicles, or on verbal commands. Dogs love to chase marmots and pikas, and they are all over the place. The altitude can be exhausting to dogs not acclimated, and the sharp rocks can do a lot of damage to their pads.
