Dog sled ride

This is one of dog-sleds or rather buggies that carry 6 tourists and a musher.

Each is pulled by a team of about 14 - 16 dogs



We are going to share this buggy with 4 others.



(Below) That's the buggy behind us. The dogs are straaining forward.




Going up a small incline.


Incline angle is now too steep.

They wait for help.

An empty buggy backs down and our dog team is hitched to it.





And away we went again.

The help-line is released when we neared the crest of the slope, and we were on our own dog power again.




Resting at the turnaround point ie this clump of trees. 




On the go again.

On home stretch.

End of the line is in front of those vehicels.
