Check trailpeak for the specific hike for rules with dogs too. Some places don't allow dogs (ie caribou habitat), but most around here you should be good.
I always used a harness for my old labradoodle. Better than a leash in the mountains I found. Even if you can take him off leash I wouldn't. All sorts of things to worry about. Bears and other animals, falling off a rock band or cliff, etc.
And just a friendly reminder to pack out what you pack in. There's so many people around here that will bag up after their dogs and just toss it beside the trail, it's just brutal.
