This is by far and wide one of the most memorable experiences of my life, I cant recomend it highly enough. The dogs are well looked after and an absolute delight. I had my own sled with 4 dogs and rushing through the snowy landscape with no sound except the dogs running was a humbling experience. Frank has interesting stories.... More

We were booked for a full day dog sledding but were aware that the warm sunny weather might limit us to a half day and indeed on arrival were informed that the dogs would only be run in the morning. They provide boots, coats, gloves etc for the adventure and this was quickly organized and we were off to harness... More

If you have time, make it a full day trip rather than a half day to get enough time on the sled. Well worth the money and time! More

The full day trip with Muktuk was amazing! The dog sledding was great, and the campfire and BBQ at lunch was fantastic. They supplied all the clothing we would need to ensure we stayed warm! Highly recommend this outing! More

WOW - what an exhilarating experience - so very special and memorable! My husband and I did the full day on 2/19, been home for a week and we're still talking about the day we had with the sled dogs! We were lucky enough to have 2 nights of aurora viewing which was fantastic and the purpose of our trip,... More

I have visited with friends and family several times. Frank Turner does an exceptional job teaching visitors about dog mushing. The dogs are great, and the love between Frank and the dogs is incredible. When Frank came out of the house all dogs got up and barked "take me, take me." Frank raised his hand and told the dogs to... More

A singularly extraordinary and uplifting experience. Frank and his staff will make you very welcome. I spent one week on the Rookie Ranch Experience here and could have managed another two. The dogs are beautiful, happy and healthy. Frank is passionate about their well being and knows and loves every one of them. I was introduced gradually to sledding by... More
