San Juan Sled Dogs operates in Pagosa Springs, Colorado, offering seasonal dogsled and mushing experiences that connect visitors with trained sled dogs and Colorado winter scenery. The company runs a signature 2 Hour Dogsled Experience that includes an hour on the trail and an hour at base camp interacting with the team of dogs. That experience features campfire snacks, hot chocolate, dog snuggles, photography, and round‑trip transportation. A locally discounted variation, 2 Hour Dogsled Experience - Locals Day!, provides the same trail time and base camp activities with s'mores, hot chocolate, and a special Sunday discount for residents. For early and late season conditions, San Juan Sled Dogs offers a Dry Land Mushing Tour (Early & Late Season) — a two‑hour wheeled mushing adventure that mirrors the sledding itinerary with trail time, base camp visits, dog interactions, s'mores, hot chocolate, and photography.
