Our first time visiting Alaska and we were fortunate that our daughter rented the cabin next to Nic Petit. Nic was able to get us on a tour last minute, which we are very thankful he was able to squeeze us in. I would highly recommend doing this tour. Nic placed 2nd in the Iditarod and has several other accomplishments, and meeting him and his dogs was an experience of a life time. Nic is very open and respects his team of dogs, it shows. The team was eager to meet us when we first arrived, but Nic sat down, answered questions, and with the new additions to the team we were lucky to interact with the puppies. Nic takes his time and introduces his team, allows you to interact with the dog and moves to each member. At the end of the introductions, Nic explains the race, gear, harnesses, and we were able to harness a few of the team members for the next part of the tour - Nic hooked up a modified sled and off we went. The team pulled with great enthusiasm as they knew during the trek, they were treated to their favorite swimming hole. The sled ride was not a roller coaster, but it was intense and by far better then any amusement park ride. Nic and his team were fantastic and I am thankful we were able to meet and participate in a tour. I would HIGHLY recommend this to anyone who is visiting Alaska. read more
