...living the urgency and excitement of the start of the Yukon Quest created an unforgettable experience, my favourite winter adventure memory. If you are looking for a true "Canadian" adventure, the REAL THING, consider attending the Yukon quest. The pageant, the scenery, the dogs, the people, the excitement will change your opinion of winter in the north forever.
