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.
Spectacular

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!
