Frequently Asked Questions
-
Are there age restrictions?
No. We’ve taken 6 month old babies on a tour, and an 87 year old elder. The only consideration when taking out the very young and the elderly, is the temperature. If it’s very cold, their participation must be considered carefully.
-
Can parents send their kids out alone?
Certainly, on the Mushing 101. On the Great Divide Tour, we need to discuss this with parents. Parents must be present to sign waivers for their kids.
-
Can we bring treats for the dogs?
Absolutely! The guides like treats too!
