The owner clearly is passionate about sledding and her dogs and her passion trickles down to all the staff who also enjoy being among the huskies and the customers.

★★★★★★★★★★5.0 · 104 reviews · from $146

“We got a little worried when there was a huge bus to transport us, but we ended up in a group of 10 hikers and 7 dogs and it was awesome. It’s more like getting pulled by dogs on a hike so not for super small people or those who can’t walk on rough terrain. Meetings dogs and puppies was fun too. The best part was the lunch - great food, really neat hut, fire was warm, and the guides were really friendly and helpful. This was my daughter’s favorite activity of our vacation. Highly recommended!”
