Pat went on a 6-day dog sledding trip in Denali Park, Alaska at the base of Mt. McKinley. She went with John, her husband and a mushing guide from Healy. If you are looking for an exciting and different vacation, this it it! |

 The dogs are letting us know that they are ready to go! |
 This is right before I fell mushing uphill |
 My team waiting for their dinner |
 Mushing along one of the wider paths through the willows! |
 Getting the dogs unharnessed at the end of the day |
 End of the day: collecting ice to be melted down for drinking water |
 Dinner outside our tent (I am on the right) at -20 degrees F |
 Waving for a quick picture |
 Stopping for lunch (cup o' soup and trail mix) |
 End of another day: sled emptied out and dogs in their snow beds (you can see them on the right) |
 Little Smila, settled in for the evening |
 An end of the day snow storm and hug for PJ (adolescent male who was always causing trouble with some of the other male dogs) |
