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.
