Go for a sled dog ride at Mt. Bachelor in Bend

What’s better than spending a snow day with a pack of happy pups? Visitors to central Oregon’s Mt. Bachelor can have that experience by booking a sled dog ride with Oregon Trail of Dreams, an organization run by professional mushers in Bend. Currently run by Rachael Scdoris, the first legally blind person to finish the Iditarod, the one-hour rides offer a brief introduction into the fascinating world of dog sledding. Hop in a sled and you can enjoy some time with a few of her nearly 100 Alaskan huskies, who clearly love what they do. Whether you’ve always dreamed of this kind of adventure, or simply enjoy finding new ways to get outside in the winter, the dog sled rides are guaranteed fun in central Oregon. Here are some highlights from this week’s show: What exactly happens on these dog sled rides? What kind of dogs pull the sleds? What happens when you get to drive the sled. Oregon Trail of Dreams owner Rachel Scdoris has a fascinating story.
