Within moments of embarking on your dogsledding expedition, you’ll be thrown back to the Call of the Wild on a Jack London-style journey through evergreen forests and wide-open snowy meadows.

Imagine you and another passenger, seated in a simple wooden frame, bundled snuggly in soft blankets, watching as the scenery runs by thanks to 10 to 12 well-trained dogs effortlessly pulling your sled across a snowy landscape. This is a snapshot into the smooth and timeless sport of Colorado dogsledding.
