Sledding and Homesteading Adventure
Overview
This is a 1.5 mile mini mushing activity that circles our property through black spruce, alders, and birch trees. The actual sledding time is 15-20 minutes. Full activity time is 1-1.5 hours.
In the beginning we will go over how to ride on and in your 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 your loving huskies we will harness and hook up the team. Once hooked up we will head out onto your 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.
What's Included
- Arctic oven tent, heated to warm up in
- Plenty of extra time for photos and dog visits during and after
- Hot coffee, tea, and cocoa
