We had so much fun. The dogs were so friendly and loved to be pet. The trail was beautiful. The guides were very friendly and told us a lot about the dogs and their training. Definitely dress in warm clothes.

The Activity was amazing. First time Dog sledding went in a large group. Had enough dogs to accomodate us and they knew it was our first time and found other options during unforseen weather conditions.
