About
There is no better way to spend a day in the Yukon than to ride the runners behind a strong team of Alaskan Huskies. Why settle for just a short time on the runners when you could mush the team out to a cozy campsite on a lake shore far away from the business of the world. Your full day of mushing will be split into two runs, first we head towards a our lakeside heated wall tent where you can warm up and relax by the wood stove. Your guide will serve you a delicious campfire lunch and warm drink. As dusk sets in the huskies will howl, this is their way of telling you its time to head for home! This is their favorite time to run!
