What To Expect

First we welcome our adventurers into our authentic Mongolian Yurt and outfit everyone for the trail. We provide all the essentials to keep guests comfortable in our cold Northern temperatures.

Next step into the dog yard where your guide will introduce you to each canine team member and explain their unique personalities! Once the dogs have been introduced and lots of husky selfies have been taken, we help the guests into the sled. Witness the exhilaration as the guide hooks up their team of excited and vocal canine athletes!

Once our teams are primed and ready, we mush amidst a mesmerizing landscape adorned with snow-capped black spruce, and over frozen lakes and streams. Prepare to be in awe as we hit the famous Yukon Quest 1,000-mile trail and our faces are drenched in vibrant winter sunrises and sunsets!

At the half-way point we stop on a quiet frozen pond for a beautiful arctic landscape photo op. Step out of the sled, steal frosty whiskered kisses and get pictures with your adventure crew & dog team.

Finally, we mush back to the warm Mongolian yurt to melt the frost from our eyelashes and strip the cold away from our cheeks and say our goodbyes. Trail Length 7 miles.
