When we arrived we met Matthew and Liz. Such a fun couple that love their 60+ dog family. We were given the tour of the cleanest dog yard I have ever seen. The dogs are so well taken care of. They each have their own house. Some of the dogs that have participated in races have their name and races entered on their name plates on their houses. They were thrilled to have Matthew give them ear scratches or tummy rubs.
They started getting the team together for our ride. Matthew had such patience with me! I asked a zillion questions, and he just kept answering me! (Thank you for this - I learned a lot)
We left the yard and started through the trees. In front of us - a huge moose ran across the trail. We stopped, and Matthew went to verify that it didn't stick around.
My favorite part of the adventure was being on the trail with the dogs It was amazing. You are moving along at a good speed. In the yard, they were barking and jumping - showing that they were ready to go. Once Matthew pulled the hook (musher terminology - lol), they were quiet and focused on their run,
The dogs are happy to be in their element . We stopped about a mile out. The views of Denali were spectacular. My guide (Matthew) made sure we got photos with our favorite dogs - Love that Mr. Zeppelin!
Once back at the kennel, we took more photos - and got to again love on some sweet dogs.
Do I recommend this trip - YES. Would I like to go again - YES. Will we be back
YES
