We went on our dog mushers tour and want an absolute adventure that was from the moment we were picked up to the moment we got back.
A bus collected us in town and delivered us to a few streets behind where the ships dock and we hopped on another bus for the 30 minute ride to the dogs. Along the way the driver gave us lots of commentary and we got to see another part of Skagway. The road was partly made mostly gravel.
Once we got to the top of the mountain I couldn't believe my eyes, right there in front of us is this beautiful Delta, and there was many, many wild purple Iris plants growing. Made our way long the two boarded wooden pathway ( it is very wet and muddy) and into the main section of the complex that consisted of toilets, kennels with puppy's an area with displays of the sleds used in this years Iditarod and a gift shop.
To get to the dogs we hopped on a Unimog, it is a multi purpose 4 wheel drive, and believe me it was needed to get further up the mountain, finally there and the dogs start barking with excitement. Into our summer sled we get ( can take 6 people) and mush we are off. It was a great ride, at one corner the musher yelled out hold on and we took a corner really a fast, I loved it.
At the completion of the ride, we got to say hello to every dog ( it was a bit difficult getting me away) , the. Back down the mountain on the Unimog to meet the puppies.
The little girl I got to cuddle was 4 weeks old and she had 2 bright blue eyes. After that I got to touch a tiny 2 day old puppy, what a treat!
