Klondike Explorer Dog Sledding Tour
4 days / 3 nights

Our cabins-based dog sledding trip offers a home-style welcome and mushing instruction for guests who like to start with a comfortable amount of dog sledding and camping out  You'll learn how to harness the dogs and drive a team, first on easy trails then progressing to more challenging trails as your skills increase.   Your accommodation is in rustic, comfortable wood heated log cabins.  

Travel Itinerary:

Day 01
We'll 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 02
We'll 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.)

Days 03 and 04
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.)

 

In the evenings, we visit around the dining room table, or you can watch dog mushing videos, spend time at your own cabin, or assist with the evening dog feeding.

Day 05

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.
