About
This show-and-tell style presentation will cover the history of dogsledding, and a brief history of sledding in the Rocky Mountain West. Guests will then have an opportunity to see and handle the sled, gear, and equipment that our guides and dogs use each day. We will be sure to save some time for a short demo with the dog team, pulling guests in a dry land wheeled cart (weather conditions permitting).
We will have a number of our dogs on site at each presentation to showcase the different types of sleddogs that make up traditional, racing, and recreational teams, and for all the pets, cuddles, and pictures your group desires. All presentations are hosted outdoors at our kennel facility in Driggs ID - about an hour and 15 away from Jackson WY.
