NOTE: Kennel Tours and Presentations are available all year-- RUNNING TOURS will start with Training Runs only in September and all other tours Oct through the end of April. (Due to heat.)
Many folks miss seeing our tour prices... something about skimming the fine print? They can be found in italics and bold under each tour's description on our "Tours and Adventures" page.
ALL TOURS AND KENNEL VISITS are by reservation only, with the
exception of our monthly "presentation" detailed on our TOURS page.
SLEDS:
Up to 300 pounds (excluding musher) and/or three people per sled. We can run two sleds at one time. Other guests can join sled riders for the kennel tour ($15/each) and/or ride after first riders return for the normal ride price.
TOURI:
No weight restrictions on Touri rides --but they are single-wide seats. Four people can reserve, but maximum of two adults per ride. Two more kids can sit on laps, but they need to be small enough. We run one Touri at a time. Other guests can join the sled or Touri riders for the kennel tour at $15/each and/or ride after first riders return for the ride price.

There will be no cancellation or change fees for bookings cancelled or changed more than 5 days before the scheduled reservation. "No shows" will be charged full price. Gift certificates are transferable but non-refundable. Of course we understand if inclement weather and forces outside our control force cancellations and there will be no charge in those circumstances.
Husky Power reserves the right to cancel or reschedule any tour due to dangerous weather or trail conditions--no charge of course. This occasionally happens. We will contact you as soon as possible if any of these conditions exist. Please call two or three days before your tour to confirm conditions and your tour.

Bear left at the fork in .25 miles onto Bumble Bee Road. Travel exactly two miles to 2008 Bumble Bee on your right. Red sign.
PLEASE NOTE: MAPQUEST, etc is not advised. (Back winding roads, lots of turns, not much shorter..) PLEASE follow our directions. ALSO, GPS IS USUALLY WRONG! GPS users often end up in a field somewhere-- these are the mountains and "things" are different!!!
All ride participants must sign a general liability waiver, with parents signing for children. (This is common and required by our insurance provider.) Waivers are always emailed to advance-reservations and will be available at your tour, or can be downloaded here (word doc) Waiver and brought with you.
Linda Herdering has created mixed media (manipulated photography and watercolor paints) portraits of her Huskies.... available for purchase at Husky Power and select area galleries. Her portraits were accepted to hang in two Arts Council funded galleries: The Gallery in Oakland, MD and the Saville Gallery, Cumberland, MD (during juried shows.) All artwork is printed on textured watercolor paper which is acid-free. Various sizes, both framed and unframed, are available of many of her pups sporting enchanting expressions. Too learn more, see the link above.
Linda can also create a stunning portrait in similar media of your pet. She is available (by appointment) to visit your home or office in the local area to photograph your dog or cat... and use the images to build a one-of-a-kind close up portrait of your beloved animal. Please call for more information and/or see the link above.
If you'd like to see our dogs in action pulling sleds, etc, plus learn more about us you may order our FABULOUS slideshow (to music) on your own personal DVD. It also includes three professionally filmed newsclips. To order the DVD (for TV players) mailed to you, please send $5.00 (check or cash) to our address below. (Sorry, no VHS format.) We'll send one right away. We have a few clips on our "Pics/Videos" page, and to view more you can visit YouTube and search for "Husky Power Dogsledding" (Don't forget to return here to Husky Power!)
Many types of both local and national media have written articles about Husky Power-- exciting for all of us! Our Huskies (and Mike too) were even on the COVER of Maryland Life Magazine (Jan/Feb 2006 issue.) How about a full-page story about Mike in "Military Officer Magazine!"
Two television news crews aired news features on us too-- Channel 9 in Washington DC, and NBC of Cumberland, MD. Stories have been published in Southern Living Magazine, Virginia Living Magazine, Blue Ridge Country Magazine, Parenting Magazine, The Washingtonian Magazine, Mountain Discoveries Magazine, Recreation News, The Washington Post Newspaper, The Baltimore Sun Newspaper, The Frederick News-Post, The Dominion News, The Boston Globe, The Seattle Times, and The Miami Herald among others! Whew!
We believe in giving back to the wonderful community that supports us. One way we can do that is by helping teach our neighboring children and provide programs to those in need. A few of the groups we have either visited or hosted here at our kennels include: Accident/Bittinger Mennonite School, The Grantsville Salem School, the Life Strokes After School County Program and the Oakland and Kingwood Libraries Educational Hours. Elementary schools who have annually enjoyed our presentations include: Accident, Dennett Road, Yough Glades and Friendsville Element aries. The Believe in Tomorrow Foundation (help for terminally ill children and their families) and the Wounded Warriors Project also enjoy our programs for free, among others. We've donated presentations and gift certificates annually for fundraisers to our local charity groups of HART (Animal Rescue,) the Humane Society, Habitat for Humanity, The MD Symphony, The House of Hope, Cindy's Fund, Unicef, The March of Dimes, our hospital fundraiser, several animal rescue groups along with many, many more non-profit charities.
