  Tombstone Range Dog Sledding Expedition – 8 Days
This dogsledding trip begins just south of the Arctic Circle on the world famous Dempster Highway, traversing through alpine terrain surrounded by beautiful mountain peaks.

Pioneered in 2002, this dog sledding adventure begins in the Inuvialuit village of Holman on the west shore of Victoria Island up in the Arctic Archipelago of Canada.
  Custom Dog Sledding Trips in Canada
We offer custom private dog sledding trips for groups of four or more who are looking for a combination lodge- based and camping adventure or who would like us to put together a special itinerary incorporating dog sledding.

  Summer Dogsledding Fun
During the months of May through September, our dogs enjoy their summer vacation. One of their favourite pastimes during these months is getting to know visitors to the Yukon.
