Grand Marais, MI.

Description

We’ve all seen the beautiful sled dogs of Alaska, racing through the snow covered Iditarod. Those teams of majestic Huskies and Malamutes, intelligently obeying commands while powerfully pulling the musher atop his or her sled. Several thousand years old, Sled Dog Racing is now the official state sport of Alaska and is making its way down to the lower 48.

Dryland Mushing is basically a simplified version of dog sledding, typically carried out via scooter, on off-road trails without the snow.
