Pet the Pups 7-hour Scenic Journey to the Yukon and Dogsledding Camp

Overview
Pet the Pups with Michelle Phillips and husband Ed Hopkins as they share their 50 years of combined mushing knowledge! At their dog mushing camp we will learn about the incredible sport of winter competitive mushing, the endurance and grit and bond required by both the dog team and their human to race through the wilderness in sometimes below freezing temperatures.
We will also pet the adorable future racing pups! You’ll receive a signed copy of Michelle Phillips book, some dog booties, a dog tag, and sponsorship of a sled dog. You may also book a thrilling 15 minute dog cart ride on a sturdy UTV (side by side), pulled by their racing dog team for an additional charge. If you would like to book a Dogcart ride, please contact us.
After petting the pups, your journey isn't over! You will travel all the way up to Emerald Lake, stopping to take in many different scenic points, with your private tour guide.

Spencer was fantastic! He was so knowledgeable and provided great information. We saw amazing sights and scenery! The sled dog camp was awesome! It wasn’t crowded, we had a thrilling sled dog ride, held puppies and had a short talk given to us by the owner. Carcross is a small, cute area. Food options are limited so if you have picky eaters, bring snacks.

Amazing! My family and I toured with Trevor. He was VERY informative about the local history, cultures, and biomes. We all learned a lot about Alaska! The views were absolutely gorgeous. Trevor and Beyond Skagway tours were kind and accommodating, patiently answering my litany of questions and helping us to safely explore everywhere we were interested in seeing. They were very down to earth and respectful of the many cultures of the world. Incredible! I highly recommend booking with them :)

Amazing experience with Beyond Skagway! From initial communication, to adjusting and re-adjusting our plan for the day - they were fantastic communicators and totally flexible. Mo, our tour guide, met us right at the pier and we boarded our immaculate van for a day full of sightseeing, fun and interesting facts and lots of picture ops! They recommended a fantastic cafe for us to pre-order our lunch and we stopped for a delicious picnic lunch in Carcross. The sled dog stop was the highlight of our day - the puppies were so cute! So interesting to learn about Michelle’s race! We also panned for gold - the kids enjoyed every minute of the day! Highly recommend!
