During the winter months, the endless wilderness and stunning mountain landscapes of Yukon sparkle under a blanket of snow. On the Yukon Dog Sledding Expedition, you’ll enjoy the majestic beauty of the north on an unforgettable sledding adventure.
This tour begins in Whitehorse, where you can learn about the fascinating history of the north before you go out and face the same elements intrepid explorers and gold miners faced years ago. You’ll spend a few days on a ranch outside of Whitehorse where you can hike, snowshoe, and get acclimated to the cold temperatures. Then it’s time to meet the famous sled dogs of the north and begin to learn all about the sport from expert mushers. After some training and preparation, you’ll head out into the wilderness for a dog sled trip across the tundra that you’ll never forget.
This tour is not your standard dog sled excursion! Get ready to be immersed in the lifestyle and get a true glimpse into what it means to be a musher in the Yukon.
