Hi Viki and Welcome!

I am not a biker, but do hiking in the Bryce/Red CAnyon area.

A dog in Bryce... probably not? Dogs are usually not allowed in the National Parks, however Red Canyon is in Dixie National Forest so pets are allowed there. The campground in Red Canyon is really nice and far less crowded than in Bryce Canyon.

Here is a link to my and Bo's website on Red Canyon and Bryce Canyon.

Let me know if you have questions. Someone in the group just posted a trip report for biking in Red Canyon.

I think you can have your dog on the Thunder Mtn trail, along with others right there in the area, the rules just change once you enter the National Park.

Be sure to take some pictures and let us know how it went!

Make sure you ride Thunder Mountain - it's crazy awesome!
