It might be cold and snowy during winter months, but there’s plenty of ways to get outside and enjoy the beautiful outdoors in central Oregon. Go skiing or snowshoeing, take a sleigh ride, or go for the ride of a lifetime on a unique adventure. There’s a company at Mt. Bachelor that offers a sled dog ride, and you’re going to love it!
Mt. Bachelor is the perfect place for winter recreation. Skiers love its challenging runs and terrain park, and kids of all ages enjoy the Snowblast tubing hills. There’s one activity at this resort that’s unique, though.

You’ll get to ride along in a sled with a professional musher as you whisk across a snowy landscape, pulled by real sled dogs.

These hard-working pups are raring to go! Pulling a sled through the snow is what they live for, and they often compete in races, including the Iditarod.

Your dog sled adventure lasts about an hour, including an orientation. The team leaves from the Sunrise Lodge parking lot every day at 10 a.m., 11 a.m., noon, and 1 p.m.
Oregon Trail of Dreams/Facebook Each sled can hold up to three riders, with a maximum weight of 450 pounds. Children will love this sled ride, but must be at least three years old.
After your trail ride, you can participate in feeding and watering the pups, and give them some loves.
