Guide to Dog Sledding in Colorado
Dog sledding began and still is, an important form of transportation in snow-covered areas. In arctic areas that were inaccessible to other means of travel, dog teams were used to haul supplies. They still used in rural Alaska, Canada and Greenland.
Everyone should consider driving their own team of huskies. There are dog sled tours located across the Rockies and near most major ski towns. Depending on location, the season generally runs from late November until mid April. Most sleds fit two adults, up to 400lb.
Some tours allow you to “mush” your own team of dogs, while others are just a passenger trip through the forest. It’s easier to do than you might think and experienced guides are always there to help.
What to bring:
- Dress in layers – water/windproof jacket and pants (whatever you’d go skiing in)
- Winter waterproof snow boots
- Hat, and gloves or mittens
- Neck warmer
- Sunglasses or ski goggles
- Sunscreen and lip balm
- Camera with case and extra batteries
