Dog Sledding

The Lucky Cat Dog Farm is the longest continually operating dog sled tour business in Gunnison County.

Our goal is to share with our passengers the thrill and excitement of the dog sledding experience. Our trips are designed to be fun, exciting, educational and even relaxing; amazingly, they are many things to many people.

What we do well is to create a trip for you and your family that will allow everyone to participate at whatever level they wish. If your idea of fun is to stand on the back of the sled and see the world from the Iditarod point of view, we can do that.

If you want to snuggle in the sled bag and watch the world go by while you relax to the rhythm of the dogs, we can do that also. We have trips that include lunch and trips that can be finished and get you back to ski in the afternoon.

Mostly, we try to take you into the spectacular back country of Gunnison county for an unforgettable wilderness adventure.(970) 641-1636
