Bring your Dog to Crystal Mountain
Want to enjoy the mountain with your 4-legged family members? Crystal is a great alternative to bringing your dog into Mt. Rainier National Park where dogs are restricted. We welcome your dogs to the mountain, and encourage you to bring them hiking. Below are some guidelines for bringing your pup to the mountain.

Dogs (other than trained Service Dogs defined as: Dogs individually trained to do work or perform tasks for people with disabilities. The task(s) performed by the dog must be directly related to the person's disability.) are not allowed on the Gondola in the winter (Summers Only) and are not allowed on any skiing terrain including in the Meadow or on-the-snow in-and-adjacent-to the Plaza where Ski & Ride School conducts teaching. Miniature horses and other service animals are not allowed on the Gondola, and NO service animals are ever allowed on chairlifts.
