Rookie Ranch PLUS 2

Overview

You will learn how to care for the dogs, harness and bootie them and handle a dogsled. At the end of the day, help with evening feeding and share trail stories over a fine dinner.

Each night, after you've taken care of your dog team, fed them, and spread straw down for them to rest, slip into your sleeping bag underneath the Yukon sky and watch the auroras dance above you.

Our retreat location outside of Whitehorse in the Ibex Valley allows for spectacular northern lights viewing.
