Day trips are suitable for guests of all ages and abilities.  You can choose to learn to drive your own team or to take a ride in the sled with the guide. Children must be 10 years old to drive their own team.  If you choose to be a passenger, you'll ride in the sled driven by an experienced guide (no novice drivers/guests are allowed to carry passengers in their sled).  If you choose to drive, know that you are an active participant in the experience.  You'll need to have good balance, leg strength, and arm strength.

 

Overnight trips are suitable for adults and children over 6 years of age.  For an itinerary of our overnight trips, please click here.

Custom private trips are available for either just dog sledding our a multi-day, all incluisve trip which includes lodging, dining, dog sledding, snowshoeing, and guided hiking to ice formations.  These trips require a minimum of eight participants and are great for family groups or organizations.

 

Reservations are required for all trips.  The cost of the trip includes: dog sledding instruction, the opportunity to help harness and un-harness your dog team, warm drinks and snacks when we return to the kennel, and extra warm boots to borrow (we do not charge for boot rental).  A 50% deposit is required for reservation, the balance is due when you come for your trip.
