Highlight of our trip
This was the highlight of our trip. Joe and his dogs were incredible. He answered all of our questions and it was obvious how well cared for his dogs are. They were so friendly too. Can’t recommended booking this enough.

Make time for this experience
Pretty cool doing this experience with a Yukon Quest champion. Matt was a great guide! My family could have done this for much longer than the 30 minutes we were out there. The dogs were awesome, and the experience is really one of a kind for a Southern family.
