Our next stop was in beautiful Skagway, AK. Our dogsledding excursion was not scheduled until that afternoon, so we walked around downtown, and then caught up with some guys fishing for salmon.
they caught it!
we went back to the boat for lunch, and then headed to our dogsledding tour outside of Skagway in Dyea, AK
Grayson, Carter, Mom, AL, Jerry, and I were all on a cart pulled by 12 Alaskan Huskies. Our two lead dogs were in the Iditarod last year. So fun!
After our ride, our musher introduced us to each dog, telling us his/her name and personality. It was very interesting :)
on our way down the mountain from the mushers' camp, there was a gorgeous scenic outlook. so we stopped for pics.
our dogsledding team!
we then had a question and answer session led by an experienced musher (with an injured paw) who told us all about the training, life as a musher, and the Iditarod and other races
finally, we got to snuggle with some of the husky puppies. doesn't this guy have the most beautiful eyes?!?
