点评:We had a fantastic time with Sonia and her sled dogs. Hanging out with sled dogs in the summer may seem odd, but the dogs need lots of exercise and stimulation throughout the year. These off-season visits are private, so it was just our family, Sonia, her daughter, and the dogs. We had a great time sizing up the dogs and were asked to choose a dog (from her 60!) that we felt a connection with for our hike. After some basic instructions, we hiked through the nearby wooded area's trails. Sonia had even set up a beverage station about half-way through, which was a thoughtful gesture on a muggy day.
The hike itself was more of a moderately-paced walk. Nothing too strenuous, but we still felt it was a bit of a workout. Our son had recently suffered a leg injury, so sat it out (but still got to play with the dogs at the end of the visit).
Sonia was kind enough to take photos throughout the journey and sent them to us later in the day.
We did offer her a cash tip at the end of the experience, which is did not seem she was expecting, but was certainly appreciated. (I'd recommend it, considering the personalized service and private experience)
All in all, a great experience. Do note that Alaskan Adventures shares a home base with a paintball venue. There is ample seating in there, as well as a bathroom.
翻译:我们和 Sonia 以及她的雪橇犬一起度过了一段美妙的时光。夏天和雪橇犬一起出去玩似乎有点奇怪,但狗一年四季都需要大量的锻炼和刺激。这些淡季的探访是私人的,所以只有我们一家人、Sonia、她的女儿和狗。我们很开心地评估了这些狗,并被要求选择一只我们觉得与我们有联系的狗(从她 60 岁开始!)参加我们的徒步旅行。在接受了一些基本指导后,我们徒步穿过了附近林区的小径。Sonia 甚至在半路上设置了一个饮料站,这在闷热的日子里是一个体贴的举动。
徒步旅行本身更像是一次中等速度的散步。没有什么太费力的,但我们仍然觉得这是一种锻炼。我们的儿子最近腿部受伤,所以没有参加(但在探访结束时仍然和狗一起玩)。
Sonia 很好心地在整个旅程中拍照,并在当天晚些时候发给我们。
在体验结束时,我们确实给了她一笔现金小费,这似乎出乎她的意料,但她确实很感激。(考虑到个性化的服务和私人体验,我推荐它)
总而言之,这是一次很棒的体验。请注意,阿拉斯加冒险之旅与彩弹射击场共用一个基地。那里有充足的座位,还有一间浴室。
