Great Experience - This was a perfect experience. It was 30 minutes which was just enough for a sample without getting cold. If you don't have your own gear, they have gear there to outfit you for your ride. Our musher, Luther, was very informative and friendly. If we were here longer we probably would have repeated the experience.
