Trip Option 1 | Leadville Group Dogsled Tour

These dogs are mostly all former professional racing sled dogs that have been adopted after they have finished their racing careers. They have been bred to run at high speeds in wide open spaces. Your guide has their own dedicated teams of dogs, and they will introduce you to each dog and give you their history before your tour. You can visit with any dogs not out on the course in the pen after your experience. Your tour is located in a beautiful meadow at an historic ranch surrounded by 14,000′ peaks. There are six seats per dogsled tour. On the group tour, two people ride on the dogsled at a time while the other guests ride on a sleigh that is pulled by the guide on a snowmobile. Periodically, you will stop and switch drivers and riders. Anyone 9 and above may drive the sled, unless the guide determines that a child would not be big or strong enough to handle the sled. If you want your family to have the dogsled to yourselves, you may reserve the entire dogsled by purchasing a private tour. You may also add a kennel tour or a box lunch, with your choice of Ham & Swiss or Turkey & Cheddar sandwich, chips, cookie, soda or bottled water, to your tour.

Please note the following pandemic restrictions for the 2020 – 2021 season. For the start of the season on all tours,  only two family groups will be allowed per tour for safety reasons, with an initial minimum of four people. If a group of four does not want to combine with another group of two, they are able to book a private tour. Smaller groups (two or three adults) can book a private Tagsled tour, or combine with a previously booked party of four on a group tour on a space available basis. Combined groups will be required to wear masks when not in the dogsled with a family member. TRANSPORTATION WILL NOT BE OFFERED, EXCEPT FOR LARGE PARTIES ON A CASE BY CASE BASIS. These restrictions are subject to change based on local regulations and suggestions.

Trip Option 2 | Summit County Group Dogsled Tour sold out through 2/28/21. March is available to book on 2/25/21

This tour is an awesome 6-mile tour along the gorgeous winding trails of the Swan River Valley. Each dog sled trip begins with friendly, knowledgeable guides explaining how to run the sled and how to work with the beautiful Siberian Huskies on your team. The tour, which can handle up to 6 people, is run as a “relay” – guests will switch off between running the dogs, riding in the dogsled, and riding on a small passenger sleigh with the guide, stopping along the way for everyone to trade places. The guests riding in the snowmobile sleigh have the opportunity to take great action shots and video of the participants on the dog sled. This tour is a unique, interactive and thrilling way to experience dog sledding and the Rocky Mountains.

Please note the following pandemic restrictions for the 2020 – 2021 season.
