These are longer trips into the White Mountain National Forest trail systems, usually between 8-15 miles in length depending upon current snow conditions.

A relaxed outting into beautiful mountain scenery propelled by the power of dog.
The National Forest Trips are designed for folks who want to get into the art and beauty of Dogsledding and at the same time see some spectacular North-East mountain scenery.

*Sled holds up to 3 people.
Tours depart from the Telemark Inn, Bethel, Maine.
