Hear What Our Guests Are Saying!
"We can't express enough our gratitude for the manner in which the dogsled rides were handled. Jerry and his partner, Dave, were on time, courteous, and very accommodating in demonstrating the handling of the dogs, and answering a myriad of questions.( I am an avid sled-dog fan)
Both trips represented excellent values, in our opinion. The Standard trip, led by Jerry, was excellent. The trail was beautiful, the dogs were unbelievable, and the sled was comfortable. The Marathon trip was led by Dave, and was equally outstanding. Stopping at the Elk Lake Resort for lunch was a good break at mid-trip. (The lunch was great). Both days were 5 Star experience.
This was our first trip to Mount Bachelor, and we were summarily impressed with the mountain and the facilities provided there. When driving into the Sunrise area on two days, we got information from two young men who were working the parking lot. They were both very cordial and helpful.
We loved the whole experience and will be back!"
Sincerely,
Beth C
