Itinerary
Day 1: Dogs and Wildlife
Stop At: Muktuk Adventures, Husky Trail, Whitehorse, Yukon Y1A 7A4 Canada
After a hearty and healthy breakfast you will learn what it takes to work with sled dogs, and get a chance to harness up some dogs. You will experience the incredible enthusiasm of the yard all ready to go once they see the harnesses. They just can’t wait to go to work and the whole yard is cheering them on. Once our team of up to 12 dogs is hooked up to the ATV and we leave the yard there will be silence. Everybody is focused on their job. Depending on the temperatures we will be spending 30 to 45 min on the trail. Back in the yard you are encouraged to help feed and water the dogs and give them all a big thank you cuddle.
After the ride we will take a group of our retired dogs for a walk to the shores of the Takhini river. This gives you more time with the dogs and also a chance to see what all our dogs get to do during their summer break.
All morning in the fresh air will have you hungry for lunch time.
