On Day 1, we pick you up in Whitehorse, then drive about 45 minutes to Lake Laberge where we meet the dog teams. Guests receive basic instruction on how to drive a dog sled, before mushing a small dog team across the lake to the home cabins. After unhooking the dogs and eating a hot lunch, we hold an afternoon “sled school” where you learn techniques for driving a dog sled on forest and hill trails.
Day 2:
We set off with our dog teams on spectacular forest and hill trails overlooking Lake Laberge. Lunch is a campfire cook-out. Return to the home cabins for dinner and overnight. (Approximately 4 hours on the trail.)
Day 3 to 4:
You will explore beautiful trails by dog team, while continuing to build a connection with your dogs and improve your mushing skills. We stop for a campfire cook-out or picnic lunch part-way. About 5 to 6 hours per day on the trail. (Note: time estimates are approximate.)
Day 5:
On the return day, you have some free time in the morning to enjoy the wilderness setting before we hook up the dog teams and mush back across the lake to meet the van/truck that returns you to Whitehorse.
