LEVEL OF DIFFICULTY
The 2-3 mile hike is moderate, with steep sections at the beginning and end (300 feet of elevation gain/descent within 1 km).
1/3 of the hike is uphill, 1/3 flat, 1/3 downhill.
The ground is uneven, with multiple roots, ruts, and rocks to avoid. Your husky will help you up the hill, but will also pull you back down it as well. Anticipate a downhill pull, which can be hard on knees and backs. If you feel uncomfortable on the downhills, please ask your guide for assistance or for a break.
It is also ok to hike without a husky.


KID FRIENDLY!
Kids LOVE this adventure (and we love kids!). This trip is suitable for families with children of all ages.
Children under 6 are not allowed in the dog yard (we will bring the dogs to them). Children under 12 are not allowed in the dog yard without a parent or guardian. Babies and toddlers must come with a backpack carrier. We may have small kids and parents "share" a dog -- the dogs don't know how to not pull!
Non-ambulatory kids in backpacks are free, all other kids are full price. It takes a high level of awareness, risk management and experience to monitor kids AND high energy sled dogs.
