Past Trips

Dog Sledding

Experience what it's like to ride behind a sled pulled by trained mushing dogs through a beautiful National Park! You'll get to meet the dogs, learn about the sport of mushing, and learn how to attach a harness to the dogs while surrounded by Colorado's snow covered mountains.

Requirements:  No experience required! All participants must attend the mandatory pre-trip meeting where we will discuss important details regarding the trip. Participants must submit their accurate weight during the registration process to ensure even distribution across the sleds.

Snowshoeing

Need a day out in the snow? Come with us as we explore some of Colorado’s trails through the snow. Never used snowshoes? No problem. Our trip leaders will give you some short instructions and then you will be able to put your new skills to the test. These relaxing easy to moderate hikes will give you the opportunity to explore while meeting some new people. For these trips, we will be leaving around eight in the morning and you can expect to be back sometime mid-afternoon. Snacks will be provided!

Requirements:  No experience required! Participants must be able to carry a 10lb. pack while hiking up to 5 miles over snowy terrain. All participants must attend the mandatory pre-trip meeting where we will discuss important details regarding the trip.

Ice Skating

Snow Tubing
