Set out across the ice and snow of Spray Lakes in Kananaskis for Mad Dogs & Englishmen’s classic two-hour dogsled adventure. After a friendly 30-minute orientation on dog handling, equipment, and trail etiquette, you’ll meet the team and head onto the trail for about 1¼ hours of sled time with photo stops along the way. Cap it all off with hot chocolate and home-baked cookies at the finish. Small-group format, hands-on vibe, and jaw-dropping valley views make this a winter memory-maker.
