Owner was knowledgeable and warm, eager to share details of her life with the dogs and their stories. It was interesting to get to know the dogs, especially how their demeanor changes the moment they are harnessed to the sled. We learned a lot. The visit certainly made us forget about the pouring rain.

We were trying to decide what to do when our flight was canceled, and the host at our B and B suggested Iris and this tour. What a find! We loved playing with the dogs, but they're not pets - Iris taught us how to do it safely. Then she told us so much about how she lives off the grid, and will travel with her dogs in weather as low as 45 below. It really makes you think. We're so glad we went.

Highly recommend - especially for middle school or older children. Learn a lot about sled dogs and their behavior along with how to use natural resources for sustainable living (water from rain, power from solar, gardening, canning, etc). Especially interesting how this is done in Alaska climate of extreme cold winters.
