We had a great time. We learned a lot. It was a bucket list experience for us. We can’t wait to come back and experience it on the glacier next time.

Amazing experience learning about mushing! Loved getting to know the dogs, snuggle the pups, and then taking a ride pulled by a team. Mushing is an awesome part of Alaskan culture, a must see. Thanks also to our guide Hunter!

This was such a fun experience. I would suggest wearing long sleeves, the dogs like to give hugs =) Getting to meet all the dogs, puppies, and hear about the race gear and preparations was a really cool insight.
