Tour Details

The Trail

We run on a private trail at the Lazy J Ranch out of Wolcott, 10 miles west of Beaver Creek. The sleds will take you through glades of Aspen and Pine trees. We often see wildlife including fox, coyote, deer and elk.

Having a private trail has its advantages. Dogsledding is the only activity that runs at the ranch in the winter.

Imagine the sound of the dogs feet hitting the snow and snow crunching under the runners. Come enjoy the quiet solitude of nature and all it splendor found on a Mountain Musher ride.
