Could this happen here? The Bureau of Land Management in Palm Desert, Calif., has banned all dogs except service dogs from most Palm Desert trails. The new law was designed to preserve habitat that is home to endangered and protected species, including the Peninsular bighorn sheep. As expected, the law has caused an uproar among dog owners and provoked bitter online feuds between dog-lovers and dog-haters. In Colorado, dog regulations vary, but there are no BLM lands closed to dogs, although dogs must be leashed and owners must follow the rules of any area they visit.
The same goes on Forest Service land. Other public lands in Colorado are tougher – most state parks and national parks prohibit dogs on trails.
