The day begins with a light breakfast and campfire at our kennel location by Gap Lake. Here the guides will take you through an introduction to dog sledding, the history of dog sledding in the Bow Valley area and dog sledding as a sport itself. You will then have an opportunity to meet the dogs, view the kennel area, and assist the guides with the loading of the dogs for the drive up to the trail head.
Once up at the Spray Valley, you will be encouraged to assist with harnessing the dogs and setting up the teams. Then it's out on the trail! You will enjoy an exhilarating dog sled ride with breathtaking views of the Spray Valley. This trail takes you out over the frozen lake then up into the trees to navigate an exciting trail around Mt Nestor to our back country campsite. Along the way you will have the opportunity to drive your sled with the assistance of a qualified guide.
At our backcountry campsite, a campfire lunch will be served. Here you will have a chance to warm up by the fire and learn a little about the history of dog sledding in the Bow Valley area and discuss dog sledding as a sport itself before heading back down the lake.
This Tour is designed for those who want to emerse themselves in the dogsledding world for a day or for those who may have some interest in the business themselves and want to experience it first. You are encouraged to ask lots of questions and be involved as much as possible with the daily routine.
