My friends and I tried this and were not disappointed! The musher was amazing and filled us with interesting facts about how to train the dogs and how they love it so much.

If you're not into being in the cold for lengths of time (temp. was around 15deg - one hour might've been too much for me), the sampler ride is a great option. Price was nice too - good value! Our driver was a contractor, which is fine, but the sled looked different from most of the photos - in our sled, one person sat in front, the other stood in the back with the driver between them. The person in the rear position has a blocked view (due to the driver), has to hang on tight to the bar (not that easy with thick mittens on) - or could get tossed off by unexpected bumps/side-to-side swaying caused by uneven terrain (which you can't see coming up due to blocked view). Nonetheless, it was exhilarating and a lot of fun!
