Impressed that my dog could go through the gift shop area to cut into the touring area, just can't otherwise go in the buildings. So you pay to enter the park that way. If you park and start to the left instead of into the visitors center there is some good hiking, mild gradient. Dog liked it. And picnic benches close back to the parking lot, so we had our sandwiches and dog hung out. Would recommend.

Good experience overall at the three forks brewery for dinner. There are signs on both doors about dogs not being allowed other than medical service dogs (like a seeing eye dog) but then on the patio they did have water bowls out, so we felt welcomed so long as we didn't bring the dog inside, which is totally fine. The place is counter service only and you set up and bus your own table, so bringing your dog may be best with more than one human so someone can stay with the dog while you order inside, or you would want to attach the leash to the fence there or something.
