| Alaska is often referred to as the last frontier. For generations, people have been challenged themselves in its vast and varied lands. Natural Extremes brings these challenges to you!! | |||||||||||||||||||||
| Yukon Quest Champion and Iditarod Musher Aliy Zirkle shares her knowledge and love of the Arctic on these unique adventures. Whether you are interested in a workshop on dog mushing, a trip on old gold trails near Nome on the Seward Penensula or a trip to the unequalled beauty of the Arctic National Wildlife Refuge, you will be challenged to see the world in a different way.
2010 will be Aliy's 10th aniversary of racing the Iditarod Sled Dog Race. Wow. So why not start our Mushing Excursion Trips from the Iditarod Finish Line in Nome, Alaska? With that in mind, Natural Extremes is planning a special group of trips. We will be exploring parts of the Iditarod country with interested folks. The plan is to mush to Pilgrim Hot Springs, about 50 miles out of the historic gold mining town. We will spend a day at the hot springs and then we would mush back. Overall, we would have a "introduction to mushing day" based in Nome, 4 days of mushing on the trail, a day at the hot springs and a "recovery day" in Nome - at the finish line. Go to Trips for more information. The workshops are designed to teach how to overcome obstacles to reach your goals, what ever they may be, and to enjoy the outdoors with great companions and partners, Alaska Husky Sled Dogs. |
