Nothing quite describes what it is like as well as this short video filmed on the fly in the Yukon wilderness by a musher as his small group of adventurers gets a chance to open up and let the dogs take it away on Ptarmingan Flats. This is one of many opportunities dog sledding participants get to test their skills when they come on one of our 5, 8, 11 or 15 day trips in this mountainous region of the Territory. They travel along forested trails, up mountain sides, and they also get to stop and enjoy the beautiful surroundings in which they find themselves along the way. You will notice that ever trip participant gets to drive their own team -- they get to develop a rapport with the 3 to 6 dogs that become theirs for the duration of the journey.
