We love dogs! OwnerRez We love dogs! Posted on September 12, 2022 We are dog people! We have always had a dog or 3 in our home… we currently have Luke – his registered name is “The force is strong” – he is a Brittany, 9 years old and still acts like he is 2! And Bella, a beautiful Australian Shepher.....

That’s a lot of rain!

The Mt. LeConte weather station measured 18.16 inches of rainfall for the month of July, the most rainfall recorded for any month since records have been kept by the National Weather Service going back to 1988. The previous wettest July for Mt. LeConte measured 15.47 inches in 2011, and the previous all-time wettest month recorded 17.8 inches in 2004, when remnant hurricanes Frances, Ivan, and Jeanne affected the southern Appalachians region. Mt. LeConte recorded rainfall on 25 of the 31 days in July. Interestingly, the all-time wettest month (July 2022) on Mt. LeConte was preceded by the record driest month for June with just 3.27 inches of rainfall. (Photo by JRenfro)

Howlin’ & Barkin' at the Moon are both dog friendly… look at this great program the Mountains offer for your cute pup!

Is your pup ready to become a B.A.R.K. Ranger?

If you travel to Great Smoky Mountains National Park with your dog, remember to:
B – Bag your pet’s waste and dispose of it properly
A – Always leash your pet (use a 6-foot leash or shorter)
R – Respect wildlife and other park users
K – Know where you can go with your pet

Dogs are welcome in picnic areas, in campgrounds (with a campsite reservation), along roadways and on our two pet-friendly hiking trails:
- Gatlinburg Trail (near Gatlinburg, Tennessee) – 2 miles (each way) / easy trail / trailhead access at Sugarlands Visitor Center or at traffic light #10 in Gatlinburg
- Oconaluftee River Trail (near Cherokee, North Carolina) – 1.6 miles (each way) / easy trail / trailhead access at Oconaluftee Visitor Center

Pick up a self-guided activity sheet at Sugarlands or Oconaluftee Visitor Center, then take a walk on one of the pet-friendly trails to earn your pet a Great Smoky Mountains National Park B.A.R.K. Ranger certificate!

B.A.R.K. Ranger items are available for purchase at park bookstores and online through the Great Smoky Mountains Association at https://www.smokiesinformation.org/catalogsearch/result/index/?cat=181&q=+B.A.R.K.
