It’s more like getting pulled by dogs on a hike so not for super small people or those who can’t walk on rough terrain. Meetings dogs and puppies was fun too. The best part was the lunch - great food, really neat hut, fire was warm, and the guides were really friendly and helpful. This was my daughter’s favorite activity of our vacation. Highly recommended!”
