Yukon Quest Testimonials
Yukon Quest was thrilling and exhilarating. We loved seeing the teams depart and waited further along the route to give encouragement to the dogs and their handlers. We gained respect for the Quest participants after we tried dog sledding ourselves. A world class event in breathtaking surroundings.
