Description
Embark on a mushing cart ride with Alaskan sled dogs. Join an exciting tour to see the kennels and discover what life is like under the midnight sun.
Try out a special Alaskan activity and go for a mushing cart ride. Appreciate the summer months up north and learn all about the Alaskan Huskies while they take a break from their winter work. Be one with the pack, find out if you're alpha enough, and run loose in the sun.
Since it's too hot out for the dogs to run their usual mileage, climb aboard a mushing cart and let them pull you through the experience. First, join a mushing presentation and learn all about the working dog temperament, pack mentality, and their 1,000-mile races.
Then, meet each member of the team and get into a comfortable UTV as the dogs pull you around the block. Feel the power of these double-coated animals, and be amazed at their strength, personalities, and beautiful way of life.
