Are you in the U.S.? Do you like travelling with your dog?
National parks are known for being places of great beauty with abundant wildlife. Because of this, there are strict laws regarding bringing pets into a national park.
Are dogs allowed in any national parks?
Yes, dogs are allowed in many national parks.
Best Pet Best Friend decided to write this helpful blog post to help you know which national parks allow dogs.
While most of the 58 national parks around the country don’t permit dogs, there are a select few that do allow dogs on a leash in designated areas. Next time you’re heading for the outdoors, why not take your pooch to one of the following parks! Just remember to bring your dog leash, snacks, water and a bag to clean up any mess your dog makes.
Here’s a handful of national parks around the U.S.A. that let you bring your pets- make sure you find out and follow the strict rules!

https://www.holidaystoeurope.com.au/home/european-destinations/croatia/1172-best-things-to-do-in-split-croatia
Split is one of my favourite Croatian cities, and personally I think it has more to offer than the tourist mecca of Dubrovnik further south along the Adriatic coast! In the past, Split was popular as a base from which to explore the nearby Dalmatian islands, and most tourists didn’t

Looking for things to do in Paris that aren't your typical tourist activities?
I recently wrote for Adventure In You about some unusual things to do in Paris that most tourists wouldn't know about- have you tried any of these experiences?
"When you think of Paris, the word “adventure” doesn’t spring to mind, but there’s more to the City of Lights than the Mona Lisa and the Eiffel Tower.
One of the things I love about Paris is that the city has so much to offer if you look beyond the typical tourist clichés. The most visited city in the world, Paris is a foodie’s paradise, and a city you can explore on foot, boat, or even rollerblades! There are loads of unique things to see and experience in this wonderful city, so without further ado, here’s a compilation of unusual things to do in Paris."
