  Yellowstone National Park is located within three states: Wyoming, Idaho and Montana. According to the park's official website, pets are welcome in the front country--any areas within 100 feet of campgrounds, roads and parking areas--but are prohibited from the wilderness section of the park due to the presence of predators, such as bears, coyotes and owls. Several hotels convenient to park entrances also welcome pets.
