Summary:
We had an amazing time on our sled dog tour! Our guide, Matt Hall, was wonderful – friendly and easy to talk to. He told us all about the dogs and the sport, and you can tell he truly loves and cares for his team. We learned so much and had a ton of fun. It was also really cool to hear that he placed 2nd in the Iditarod – such an incredible accomplishment! This was an unforgettable experience and we’d highly recommend it.
