Day 4 Saturday

sled! You will be picked up at 10AM in the hotel lobby. As a group we will do
some last minute shopping and pick up any items missing from the packing list.
Afterwards we drive to the Sky High Wilderness Ranch, 20km South of Whitehorse
where we outfit you with your expedition clothing. Enjoy a hot lunch and then be
introduced to your 4 legged companions for the tour. Now you learn the basics
of; dog care, checking their feet and shoulders, dog massage, sledding and parts
of the sled. Harness your team, hook up and go for your very first run! Take in
the untouched beauty of the northern wilderness. After taking care of the dogs,
cleaning and feeding we can enjoy the sauna, have a shower, hot dinner and cozy
up by the fire. (L,D)
Day 5 Sunday
While the morning sun lifts slowly over
the magnificent horizon, we say good morning to our new canine friends and
ensure they are fed, watered and happy. Then we sit in the comfort of our lodge
dining room having breakfast and plan our day. Today we cover approx 35km in
distance driving towards secluded Jackson Lake. The only sound will be the
runners in the snow, the working dogs, and your words of encouragement. This is
the day that you begin to know each dog's personality and form a bond that only
man and dog can understand. With every stop, praise and show of affection for
your dogs, they will learn to trust you and you to trust them. Relax in our sod
roof sauna before retiring for the night. Overnight at Sky High Wilderness
Ranch. (B,L,D)
Day 6 Monday
Today your team will pull you east of the
ranch. As we climb in elevation we are heading onto an old abandoned mining road
on McIntyre Mountain. Enjoy the rugged landscape of the coastal mountains
nestling Fish Lake in it's valley. Keep an eye out for wildlife - you never know
what you might see! Return to Sky High lodge for the night. Take care of the
dogs, then curl up by the fire or sit around the dinner table recounting your
adventures with others. There is a dinner and a gravity fed shower waiting for
you in the main lodge. (B,L,D)
Day 7 Tuesday
This day takes us towards beautiful
Bonneville Lakes, west of the ranch. The trails are narrower here with some
challenging ups and downs. The scenery is breathtaking and the coastal mountains
are always in view to the south and west. Part of the trip we are above tree
line and easily cover 20-30km. A breath of new life will creep slowly into your
soul and in harmony with the running rhythm of your team you will enjoy nature
like you have never experienced it before. Take it all in and these memories
will go with you as you continue your journey home. In late afternoon we drive
you to Whitehorse where you spend your last night at the Best Western Gold Rush
Inn. Here you will receive your musher's diploma and a shuttle pass.
