This was really great!! My mom and I were traveling through Whitehorse and wanted to try this. We had very limited experience and skills but our incredible guide had us comfortable very quickly. The ranch and the scenery are incredible; I also really enjoyed bonding with the animals. The staffs authenticity and passion are very evident without needing to be spoken. I would go again; just a great outfit, great people doing what they love and sharing a small taste of it with us.

My daughter and I had a fabulous time dogsledding at SkyHigh. I had some trepidation about going as the temperature in Whitehorse was -43C. They assured me we would be warm enough and that we would be well taken care of. They lived up to their word! We were picked up from our hotel and arrived at the ranch about 20 minutes later. We were given boots, a jacket, pants and gloves to wear to ensure we had the proper gear. We had some time to get to know and interact with the dogs before getting instructions on what to do. We had an exhilarating 2 hours driving our own dogsled across the lake and then weaving through the forest and up and down trails. So much fun! We said goodbye to our dogs and then spent some time in the cosy yurt drinking hot chocolate by the fire. The dogs were well taken care of and our guides were fantastic! We will be back for another adventure with Sky High.

My 12 year old son and I have always wanted to dog sled so to the Yukon we headed. We chose Sky High Wilderness Ranch because we wanted more than just a couple of hours - we wanted to be a part of the dogs’ life. I won’t lie, our 4 days was challenging and physically demanding but all so worth it. Learning to harness our dogs, feeding our dogs and then enjoying their power and excitement as they took us through the most magnificently beautiful countryside will remain in my heart forever. It was also lovely to escape phone service and to live the simple life where heat is provided by a wood fire, lighting is gas, water is boiled on a stove, there is no dishwasher and the washroom is outside. The hospitality was amazing, you were a part of the Sky High Wilderness Ranch family and they showed how important you were. Receiving our Diploma of Mushing was certainly a highlight. Our guide Kristina was absolutely dedicated to all our needs. Go and experience this wonderous place.

What a ranch! We visited Sky High to do some dog sledding, which you must do while you’re out in Whitehorse. When you arrive on site they have everything organized for your group to get you out on the trails. You can see that they have rustic lodges for rent and hundreds of happy dogs running the trail. They partner with another on site who offers yurts, snowmobiles and fishing. Sky high staff are friendly and knowledgeable. We were able to sit around and talk with someone who participated in the Yukon Quest dog sledding race while enjoying a bison sausage and a warm beverage around a fire. This is definitely an experience to be had while in Whitehorse.

We did the 2 hour dog sled adventure, WOW that was a blast.. Our guide was very informative about the dogs and their way of life, we stopped a couple times to let the dogs rest and take photos. The dogs seem to be well taken care of and just love to run. At the end of the trail when they unharness the dogs you get to visit with all the other 150 sled dogs. You are also treated to a hot dog cook out and marshmallow roast on an open fire. I would highly recommend this tour to add to your bucket list..

I thoroughly enjoyed my half day dog sledding experience. The guides were very welcoming, knowledgeable, informative and made sure you felt comfortable before heading out. They also lend warm, protective clothing to anyone who needs it to ensure you have the best time possible. We stopped a few times along the way to take photos and spend time with the dogs. It was an amazing, bucket list experience.

My mother and I did a 2 hr horseback riding tour. The horses were well cared for; well-fed, well-groom and well-behaved. The ride was organized and the leader was friendly and chatty with the group (we had another couple as part of our group). She made sure to stop at good locations to take photos of everyone on their horses. The scenery was excellent. For those who might be wanting a bit of speed (trotting or cantering) there is not much options (at least on the route we took), so don't be thinking you will get a lot, especially if you have beginners in your group. As is reasonable. The trail is tight because of the underbrush (be darn sure you are wearing pants) and narrow and not great footing that the horses manage beautifully. I would not have concerns about taking beginners or children on this trip.

Thank you for your review! SO glad you enjoyed your tour! Our guides are here for the lifestyle and Kristina enjoys showing our visitors the views from her new home.
Yes pants are definitely a must for our trail rides- we use wilderness trails and take pride in keeping the landscapes as natural as possible.
Our rides are more about getting to the best view points rather than speed or showmanship - and when you see that view it is breathtaking!
Hope to have you with us again one day!

Wonderful way to get a taste of different winter activities! The tobogganing was a bit of a let down - tiny hill and tiny sleighs. The day was a bit weird with how it was put together - we seemed to spend a lot of time waiting and then when the guides were ready it felt like we were being rushed. Absolutely loved the dog sledding and being pulled by a snow machine in the snow coach.
They do encourage you to wear the winter clothes they provide, which we did, but we felt like we were forced into wearing their shoes even though ours would have been fine (better). Ones provided had limited tread on the bottom making it even harder to walk over the slippery snow and didn't fit our feet properly making it even harder to walk than normal.

This was not something that I was planning to do and added it at the last minute (the night before). What a great experience. We did a one hour ride and our guide, Beth taught us everything that we needed to know in a few minutes. She explained so well, that my comfort level was high pretty quickly. I was impressed with her knowledge, but I was also impressed with how much the dogs LOVE their jobs. You could hear them saying "pick me, pick me!" as we walked to our sleds. They are all so happy and ready to go. They clearly are well cared for and loved.
I am so glad that I did this. Highly, highly recommend.
On a side note- we had plenty of clothes to keep us warm, but for those who did not, Sky High made sure that everyone was dressed appropriately so as not to be uncomfortable on their trip from their heads to their toes!
Overall excellent experience!

Hello Michelle S,
I am happy to hear that your last minute booking turned out be a great memory and experience :)
The dogs are very happy workers. All the Guides like to treat them all like they are their own dogs with large amounts of affection and respect. We take great pride in knowing that all of the animals on the ranch are well taken care of and are happy .
Thank you for the honest review :)

This was a wonderful trail ride on horseback up and down a mountain.We were met and guided by awesome staff, who also provided us with whatever gear we needed.Luckily, the rain had stopped and held off for our whole ride.The scenery was beautiful and and the view of Fish Lake was spectacular as we went higher on the mountain.We are all experienced riders and found all the horses to be well cared for and energetic. What a fantastic view at the top and great place for photos. Our guide happily took all our cameras and got lots of shots.When we returned back down,we warmed up in their cozy cabin with woodstove.We were with good friends and were all so pleased with the outing.
