Our tours aren’t just rides—they’re hands-on, heartwarming experiences where you:
Meet and bond with our free-range, friendly UN-Chained Gang.

Learn about ethical dog care, pack dynamics, and the fun of dogsledding.

Harness and hitch your own team.

Ride our private summer trail system through forests and fields, very limited ride time.

Watch the dogs play, swim, and cool off at our exclusive pond stop, and take them for a walk.

Families especially love this one-of-a-kind, up-close connection with our champion sled dogs.
Every tour supports our mission of Ethical Dog Sledding and the lifelong care of the UN-
Chained Gang.

Our Un-Chained Gang's ethical, free-range approach allows us to offer a "loose-drop" pond stop where the dogs can swim and cool off during summer tours. YOU WON'T EXPERIENCE THIS ANYWHERE ELSE.
