We pick you up in Whitehorse, then drive about 45 minutes to Lake Laberge where you meet the dog teams. Guests receive basic instruction on driving a dog sled, before mushing a small dog team across the lake to the home cabins. After unhooking the dogs and having a hot lunch, there is 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.
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:
We pack up the sleds and head out for an overnight dog team camp-out – a wonderful way to spend time on the trail with your team. We cook outside over a campfire and melt snow to make water for the dogs and people. Sitting around the campfire and doing the evening chores is an excellent way to view the night sky, perhaps including the northern lights if we are lucky. For overnight, we stay in a wall tent or Arctic Oven tent heated by a wood stove.
Day 6:
We cook our breakfast and heat water for the dogs over the campfire. We return by dog team to the home cabins for the final night.
Day 7 to 8:
We hook up the dog teams one last time to mush back across the Lake Laberge to meet the truck/van that takes you back to Whitehorse.
