Such a unique experience. The dogs were wonderful and so full of energy. I easily could have spent half day or more on the sled.

It was fun, just wished we could have sled for a little longer, felt too short, it was like 30-40 minutes and that we could go a little faster, constantly had to slow down.

This is one of the best activities I ever done. I would do it again in a heart beat. Definitely recommend a must do.

We had so much fun. The weather was great, the dogs did a great job and we were very impressed we were in control and driving our own sleds. My own feedback would be that there were so many sleds bunched up together on the trail that when a sled in front of us was even briefly held up... it created a traffic jam. I would like to see the groups spaced out a bit more.

So fun! Couldn’t believe we got to drive our own sleds (with guidance from very knowledgeable guide).
