Dog Sledding in Mancos

This area of Colorado is home to a small business that will hire out their sleds, an experienced, expert musher, and their very special sled dogs for an exceptionally FUN half-day adventure.  Yesterday we talked our company into taking this very memorable trip.  If you enjoy the outdoors and like dogs, I can't think of a better way to experience both at their finest.  The following photos were taken during the trip yesterday and some were taken 2 years ago when my husband and I went for this ride of a lifetime!


The thrill of the trail.  
The dogs love what they do and are treated with care and respect.  
They really enjoy their work.


Somewhere on the wide open trail,
after a fresh snowfall and a few days off,
these dogs and their passengers 
were having the time of their lives!


We had three teams out the day we took this trip.   
That's my husband and his team 
coming up beside my sled on the right.


Unloading the sleds.
The dogs are still quietly waiting
in their kennels on the truck.



Harnessing and meeting the dogs.
We all got to participate.


Some of the dogs are more friendly than others!


Everybody had a beautiful day!!!!
