Sun Peaks offers three dog sledding in British Columbia tours. The choice is yours, you can either mush your own team, or ride as a passenger in the guide’s sled. If you choose to mush your own team, you must be in good physical condition, as it is possible you may have to run alongside the sled on short hills.
