An unforgettable trip through Alaskan wilderness
Moon Dog Kennel的点评
点评：If you are looking for a once in a lifetime experience in the Alaskan wilderness, this is it.
We met Courtney and the Moon Dogs in September 2023 when she was doing a sled dog talk. She explained how the kennel she runs with her partner, Brian, is focused on hauling freight rather than racing dogs. The dogs live with them for their entire lives, enjoying the couch dog life after they have gotten too old to pull the weight and run long distances, which is ~11-14 years old (quite old for a large breed dog). The dogs' longevity goes to show how well cared for they are, and that they are getting the right exercise.
It is clear that Courtney and Brian want to share their love of sled dogs and Alaska with everyone. They offer day trips or overnight excursions where they prepare everything you'll need, and you just need to show up with a positive attitude and a warm base layer. We decided to go for the 3-day trip. The first day was a training day where we learned how to handle the sled and communicate with the dogs. The second and third days were an overnight trip out to a cabin in the remote wilderness. The dogs know the path, even when it's covered in snow, so we didn't need to follow any maps. It had just snowed, so the dogs actually puts down the path so people who would like to use the trail by snow machine (snowmobile) are able to safely do so. Once at the cabin, the dogs are well fed and get lots of pets and love. They spend unstructured time running around and playing, so you can see that they still have plenty of energy after ~4 hours of trotting through snow. As mentioned, the Moon Dogs are freight dogs, so the distance is covered at a comfortable pace. If there are any hazards along the way, Courtney and Brian would stop, tell us how to safely pass them with the dogs, and once through, check on us in case we had any follow up questions. The entire time on the sled, I felt confident that our safety and the dogs' safety were top priorities. At the cabin, Brian set up the stove while Courtney fed the dogs. They made a homemade meal for dinner with a cobbler for dessert with blueberries they had picked themselves. It was filling and delicious. The cabin was warm despite the chilly air outside and we slept on a comfortable bed with clean sheets.
The scenery was stunning, and we were very fortunate to have perfect weather and a clear view of Denali for part of the route.
The cost of the trip was incredibly worth it. We had undivided attention of two experienced Alaskan winter guides, who had a wealth of knowledge of the history and landscape of the area. They pointed out animal tracks in the snow, identified owls by their call, and made sure we saw any wildlife, like herds of caribou or grouse on trees, along the trail. We can't speak highly enough of Courtney and Brian and the Moon Dogs and the experience they provide.

翻译：如果您想在阿拉斯加荒野中寻找一生难得的体验，那就来这里吧。
我们在 2023 年 9 月遇到了 Courtney 和 Moon Dogs，当时她正在做雪橇犬演讲。她解释说，她和她的搭档 Brian 经营的犬舍专注于运输货物而不是赛狗。这些狗一生都和他们住在一起，当它们老得无法拉重物和长距离奔跑时，它们会享受沙发狗的生活，也就是大约 11-14 岁（对于大型犬来说已经相当老了）。这些狗的长寿表明它们得到了很好的照顾，并且得到了正确的锻炼。
很明显，Courtney 和 Brian 想与大家分享他们对雪橇犬和阿拉斯加的热爱。他们提供一日游或过夜旅行，他们会准备好您需要的一切，您只需带着积极的态度和温暖的底层出现即可。我们决定去 3 天的旅行。第一天是训练日，我们学习如何驾驭雪橇并与狗交流。第二天和第三天是前往偏远荒野的小屋过夜。即使雪地覆盖，狗也知道路，所以我们不需要按照任何地图。刚刚下过雪，所以狗实际上会铺下道路，这样那些想用雪地机（雪地摩托车）使用这条小径的人就可以安全地这样做了。到达小屋后，狗吃得很好，得到了很多宠爱和爱。它们会花一些自由的时间四处奔跑和玩耍，所以你可以看到，在雪地里奔跑了大约 4 个小时后，它们仍然精力充沛。如前所述，月亮狗是货运狗，所以这段距离是以一种舒适的速度行驶的。如果沿途有任何危险，考特尼和布莱恩会停下来，告诉我们如何安全地带着狗通过这些危险，一旦通过，他们就会检查我们的情况，以防我们有任何后续问题。在雪橇上，我确信我们的安全和狗的安全是重中之重。在小屋里，布莱恩架起炉子，考特尼喂狗。他们做了一顿自制的晚餐，甜点是他们自己摘的蓝莓馅饼。这顿饭既丰盛又美味。尽管外面很冷，但小屋里很温暖，我们睡在铺着干净床单的舒适床上。
风景令人惊叹，我们很幸运，在部分路线上天气很好，可以清楚地看到德纳利峰。
这次旅行的费用非常值得。我们得到了两位经验丰富的阿拉斯加冬季导游的全心全意照顾，他们对该地区的历史和景观有着丰富的了解。他们指出了雪地里的动物足迹，通过叫声识别猫头鹰，并确保我们在小径上看到任何野生动物，如树上的驯鹿群或松鸡群。我们对考特尼、布莱恩和 Moon Dogs 以及他们提供的体验赞不绝口。
