    Enjoy the view and leave the dogs at home. There is very little places to go with them and it can be too hot to leave them in the car.

    Get there early and take a hike. Though, don’t forget to pay the $8 fee or show a pass!

    Enjoy the view and don't bother bringing the dog:( very little places they can go and it is too sad to leave them in the car.
