This was a bucket list experience. When we signed up for this activity, I thought there would be a guide taking us on a dog sled. Much to our surprise, we each had our own sled with our own dogs. At first, this was a bit intimidating but that quickly passed once we got started. This activity was a lot of fun! The dogs are so happy and excited to go for a run. They are super friendly.
