Dog sledding is a must-do activity in the winter in the Yukon, by mushing_0042 on Flickr

Mush! Gee! Haw! Terms that will roll off your tongue as you and your four-legged companions whisk through forests of white-capped white spruce. Feed off the energy through the harness as these dogs pull you with power and grace through the wilderness to your remote cabin on the lakeshore.

Your guide will ensure you are dressed well and teach you to harness a team, the basics of mushing, and most importantly, dog care. Whether they hand you the keys or you sit in the basket, a dogsledding adventure in Canada’s Yukon is filled with wide-eyed wonder and exhilaration.
