Pets are permitted on the temporary Elwha Access Trail, as well as on roads and parking lots within Olympic National Park.

Pets are not allowed on any other trails in the Elwha Valley, including trails that adjoin the Elwha Access Trail.

Bicycles are permitted on roads within Olympic National Park and are not allowed on park trails.
