We hiked for about 1hr 20minutes total, and everyone got a try at walking with the huskies. The snacks were also delicious and very filling! Need that cookie recipe... This really was a good value for money activity and the best part was we got an abundance of time with the dogs. They are well looked after. It was very snowy but when the skies cleared the view was incredible. Must do activity!!!Read more”
