We had an AMAZING experience on our trip to the musher's camp in Skagway. Our guide, Chris, was outstanding. Really knowledgeable about the area, the history, and the camp itself. And on top of it, he was hilarious and everyone in our group is still talking about it, more than a week later. Our ride with the dogs was incredible. I regret that I don't know the name of our musher, but he so clearly cared for the dogs on the team he was working with and was really informative about the training, the dogs, and the art of mushing. Of course, as great as these two were, meeting the dogs was the real highlight. It was fascinating to watch the dogs go from play to work and right back to play. The puppies - what can we say? Holding a snugly snoozing puppy will turn anyone's day around. And in case you have qualms about a place with working animals, I just want to note that the mama dog of the newest puppies was a bit anxious about having people come up to hold them. One of the experienced mushers climbed into the pen with her and the puppies and laid snuggling and calming that mama the entire time, showing extraordinary care for the well-being of the animals.
