Book early for best times & dates.


The team is relaxed until the first dog is harnessed, then the excitement and noise begins. By the time the last dogs are rigged up, the team is jumping and jerking lines. The noise is at a shrill pitch.

After you are comfortably settled in the sled, I give the command. . . Hike Hike! It instantly turns quiet and the power is obvious as the team sprints off with snow flying about. Soon the dogs settle into a smooth rhythm. Enjoy majestic views of Mt. Shasta, Mt. Lassen, and Castle Crags aboard a dog sled powered by a beautiful, friendly and highly trained canine athletes. I invite you to join the dog's and myself for the high-pitched excitement of the dog's during hook-up, the grace and silence of running the trail, and the teams rewards of love and dog snacks at the trail's end.

The 7 ft. x 22" basket sled with a cordura sled bag encloses you and is warmly padded for your comfort. Try riding on the back runners with the musher to experience driving the team.
