Dog Sledding
For a unique and wonderful way to enjoy the scenic backcountry of the Telluride, Colorado area, take a dog sled tour. This is an incredible activity for couples and/or families with children. You can help to prepare the dogs for the trip, get the sled ready and even help to steer. This is a full participation form of recreational tour.
What fun – making friends with new canine companions and learning how to prepare both them and your sled for a fun filled dog sled adventure! This is a great activity for all ages. A "musher", the professional guide, will help you to prepare your team and your sled and then will act as the driver for your sled.
Each dog sled generally holds two adults, plus the "musher" who stands on the back of the sled. Your new dog friends will pull you to various National Forest Trailheads, depending on the current snow conditions.
Be sure to plan ahead and to be prepared. Eye protection is required but not provided, so bring your own ski goggles or sunglasses depending on the day's weather.
Dress as you would for a day of skiing with gloves and footwear that is warm. It is best to avoid wearing long dangling clothing and scarves. Sunscreen and lip balm are also a good idea on bright sunny days.
