    Great video

    The video is worth the trip showing what it takes to keep dogs in peak performance, healthy and happy. Those dogs sure love to run! They have a very good gift shop too.

    I always wanted to try to dogsled!

    I enjoyed the dogsled opportunity, altough for ten dollars ($10.00), it was pricey. The dogs were smart and cute, and I held a Siberian puppy. The staff was polite and took my pictures with the dogs. In the summer, the dogs pull you in a...More

    FUN EXPERIENCE!

    Besides learning about the history of the Iditarod Trail and about the beautiful dogs, we took a ride around the property mushing for only $10 a person. Now I know the meaning of the word Iditarod (Distant Place). The 1049 mile trail was a lifeline...More

    You are asking a political question I have no answer for, you might want a different platform. Just having moved here, I am not aware of the political problems.
