What To Expect

Upon arrival, please check in at the clubhouse on the second floor. Feel free to relax and explore the clubhouse while you wait for your adventure to begin.
Your guide will introduce you to the world of mushing, walk you through its rich history, answer any questions, and get you geared up for your experience.
Next, you'll head outside to meet our musher, Robert, and his team of elite sled dogs. Robert will demonstrate the excitement of preparing the dogs to do what they love to do. Once the dogs are fired up and ready to go, you're welcome to mush on a short ride with Robert driving the team on our custom dryland passenger sled. This is a unique way to experience mushing during the summer months when there is no snow on the ground. Take turns mushing, meeting the puppies (if available), and soaking in the sights and sounds of the race track.
