点评:Our family is always looking for new, unique activities and today our family (5) went dogsledding. When my wife first found this activity I said "Animal abuse", but the more we looked into it, the more we felt at ease about doing this. We applaud this organization for moving the experience to a location further north that had sufficient snow, rather than cancelling it. While we had to drive further to get there, we also included The Orange Cat Cafe and a trip to Smalls Falls as part of our day, which resulted in a memorable and worthwhile family adventure. The new location had no facilities, and we were advised to use a restroom before finding the trailhead location. We were not the only sledders. The dogs, sledders, and mushers were already on site and set up to go. The event was well-organized by friendly staff, both men and woman. Sled ingress/egress, along with safety instructions, were given prior, we boarded our perspective sleds, and OFF we went! The dogs are bred for this and were very eager to go, and happy. The dogs were not pushed by the sled drivers, but went at their own pace, which moved right along. Our trial went through the woods, and was scenic. Signs let you know where you could take side trails to various locations such as restaurants, hotels, and even a hospital if one was needed. ATVs, horses, etc. used this trail during warmer months. The sled drivers were friendly, knowledgeable, and held good conversation. We were advised that we could bring Full Moon Chicken Jerky Strips to treat the dogs after the sledding was over, and we did and the dogs were grateful. The dogs are very friendly and no chance of fighting or biting, but they may jump and lick! That was fine with us as we love animals. We brought generous cash tips. We were given plenty of pre-planning information. This was a fun and uniques experience without mishap or glitches. We felt that the dogs are well cared for.
