DOG SLEDS and DogSled Rides
Imagine being whisked through a snowy fairyland forest on a real
dog sled. Pulled by a team of well-trained sled dogs, you will glide
along while taking in all of the gorgeous scenery Mammoth has to
offer.
Winter rides are offered at several locations: Smokey Bear Flats just
outside of the town of Mammoth north on Highway 395 and around the
Main Lodge on the Mountain by the Mammoth Dog Teams. You absolutely
need a reservation. Where you go for your ride is dependent on the
amount of snow there is.
Smokey Bear Flats is in the wild more, but as it is just outside of
town, you will have to drive and on the edges of the season, does not
operate so the dog teams are up at the Main Lodge. During the peak
season and snowfall, however, it is the place to go.
There is even a
package for a ride and chow (no Purina pun intended!). A romantic moonlit
ride to Minaret Vista is the perfect way to make your winter vacation
in Mammoth even more special.
Summer months, the kennels are open for the kids to come and see the
dogs, play with them and learn what makes a good musher. It is a great
kid friendly activity while the rest of the gang might be out hiking
or fishing. Please call ahead for reservations or visits.
