[pct-l] What areas are off-limits for dogs?

[AsABat]

Source? I'm not doubting it's possible, but thinking we need sources as
this comes up a lot. What I found is at
http://www.nps.gov/yose/planyourvisit/pets.htm :

Pets are only allowed 
* in developed areas 
* on fully paved trails and roads 
* in campgrounds (except Tamarack Flat, Porcupine Flat, and walk-in
campgrounds) 

Pets are not allowed 
* on unpaved or poorly paved trails 
* in Wilderness areas 
* on shuttle buses 
* in concessioner lodging areas 
* in Tamarack Flat, Porcupine Flat, and all walk-in campgrounds 
* in any group or horse camps

They also list a few unpaved roads that allow dogs.
