Dogsled Adventure

Recently a friend from the Eagle River Nature Center, Louise Preyer, took a 5 day trip by dogsled over 100 mile. The adventure took place along the Denali Highway in temperatures as low as minus 20. They spent two nights in tents and one in a log cabin. Before departure they were given instructions on handling a dog team and sled.

As the six sleds progressed along the Denali Highway (which runs from Paxton to Cantwell) closed to traffic during the winter the Alaska Range gave beautiful backdrop.

Tents called "Artic Ovens" were used for two nights on the trail.
