Vail Colorado Dog Sledding

Winter activities are plentiful in Vail and Beaver Creek, Colorado. Whether you're looking for an activity for the entire family or maybe just yourself, you should seriously consider hopping on a dog sled and enjoy one of the most exciting rides of your life. Granted the area is home to some of the countries best skiing and snowboarding, going on a dog sledding ride will exceed your expectations. With cool, clean mountain air rushing in your face, the strong and determined dogs that will be pulling your sled can approach impressive speeds. No, it won't exactly be the Iditarod but you will feel like you are a rugged mountain man, or woman.

Within the area are a handful of reasonably priced dog sledding outfitters that usually provide transportation and lunch on each trip. From sliding across finely groomed trails to seeking out fresh powder, embarking on a dog sledding trip is exciting. The air will be cold and the wind can be fierce at times, so having the proper winter attire complete with gloves and a hat is extremely important. Furthermore, dog sledding is a great activity for the whole family to enjoy. And, if skiing or snowboarding at Vail Resort is your top priority while in the area, taking a dog sled ride is a great way to rest the legs and try something you normally wouldn't do at home.
