This is an interactive tour, but is our family friendly, slower, shorter version of our dog sledding adventure. We prefer to have people stand on the runners and drive the dogs, with us on a tag sled as guide throughout the experience. Kids 6 years and up may be able to drive the dog team. Children under 6 years will ride in the sled with an adult. Sitting in the Sled will be accommodated as needed, especially for children and seniors, or anyone nervous about the process. This is also a great option if you've never been around dogs and are keen to learn and say hello to our very friendly working sled dogs.

This is a 1/2 mile mini mushing tour that circles our property through black spruce, alders, and birch trees. In the beginning we will go over how to ride on and in our tandem dog sleds. Once we have this out of the way we can create some noise and meet the dogs! While you enjoy kisses and hugs from our loving huskies we will harness and hook up the team. Once hooked up we will head out onto our trails around the property with great views from high on a ridge. There are ample opportunities for photos along the way and plenty of cuddle time when we return to the kennel.

The Kennel visit will take place either before or after your sled ride, dependent on weather, the dogs, and your guide's schedule.
