Day Trip Options:
Our 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 sled driven by an experienced guide (no novice drivers/guests are allowed to carry passengers in their sled). 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).
