Dogsled Treks
The full day Denali Trek, takes in views one can only experience by dog team. The trail takes you to scenic mountain vistas…you’ll feel as if you’re on top of the world! An hour stop includes an outdoor lunch cooked by your guide - savory buffalo steak and trout grilled to perfection with hot drinks, French onion soup, homemade bread and cheeses and chef’s choice of melt-in-the-mouth homemade cheesecake. The Denali trek is 18 miles* on trail by dogsled team. This adventure starts at 9:15 a.m. and returns to Chico Hot Springs late afternoon, usually between 4:00 and 5:00 p.m.
On the half day or Yukon Trek, you’ll enjoy hot drinks, French onion soup, homemade bread and cheeses topped off by a slice of delicious creamy, cheesecake – all served on a deerskin hide under the great Montana sky. At the picnic site, you’ll have a chance to take pictures, pet the dogs and enjoy being in the great outdoors. The Yukon trek is 10 miles* on trail by dogsled team. The Yukon starts at 9:15 a.m. and returns to Chico Hot Springs mid-afternoon, usually between 2:00 and 3:00 p.m.
The 2 hour Tenderfoot Trek is a great introductory trek and gives you 6 miles* on the trail by dogsled team, returning to Chico early afternoon. What a fun opportunity to see the dogs doing what they enjoy - you’ll surely get hooked for more! Great if you have young children.
On all treks, guests are invited to experience driving a team of dogs. If you just want to enjoy the ride, sit in the basket of the sled wrapped up in a sleeping bag. Positions are often changed out on the trail - there’s a place for everyone!
And, of course, don’t forget your camera!!!!
* Due to snow conditions and temperatures, trail mileage may vary; time on trail will remain the same.
