It's probably no surprise that in a region where winters are very long, winter recreation of all types is very popular. Running a dog team ("mushing") as a hobby is both challenging and expensive, but for both residents and visitors, Muktuk Guest Ranch offers dog-sledding tours from November to April - one of several companies in the Whitehorse area who offer them. In the summer, kennel tours are also available.
