Dog Sledding Breckenridge

Anyone planning a winter getaway to Breckenridge is in for a good time. While known as a popular ski town, there are numerous other things to do that embrace the snow of the season. Set off on a cross-country skiing outing or feel the thrill of driving a snowmobile. Another fantastic option for those staying at a rental from Alpine Meadows Management is dog sledding with a local Breckenridge guide.

What to Know about the Popular Winter Activity

There’s no shortage of snow falling each year in Breckenridge. On average, the Colorado town gets 300 inches of annual snowfall. This means plenty of fresh powder that provides the perfect base layer for your adventures. A fun and unique way to explore this winter wonderland is on a dog sled outing, and there’s a phenomenal option for our Breckenridge guests.

Good Times Adventures has been taking vacationers out on memorable excursions since 1986.  One such trip is dog sledding. The six-mile tour takes you on winding trails in the Swan River Valley. Your tour begins with a knowledgeable guide explaining how to run the sled and work with the Siberian Huskies that make up your team. 

The tour, which can accommodate up to six people, is operated as a relay. You and other guests will switch between running the dogs, dining in the sled, and riding on a passenger sleigh with the guide. 

We highly recommend reserving your outing as soon as possible to ensure this activity doesn’t sell out. In addition, you also want to make sure you’re properly packed for this type of adventure. Your packing list should include goggles or sunglasses, gloves, neck warmers, and more. On the day of your outing, dress in multiple layers, and remember to pack your sunscreen, water, and camera.
