The half day tour is the shortest trip running approximately 2 to 3 hours which includes 60 to 90 minutes of mushing (sledding). This tour will take you along the Takhini River to the historic Dawson Trail (part of the official Yukon Quest trail). The area is very picturesque and secluded. The full day trip is one of our most popular tours. Over 6 to 7 hours this adventure follows the Dawson Trail and includes lunch by the river around a fire while your guide shares their knowledge about dogs and Yukon history.
