Awesome experience

Learning about the reindeer and walking through the woods with them was an awesome experience. While we were in Fairbanks several people asked "Have you visited the Running Reindeer Ranch yet?" We were happy to say that we had.

Awww, thanks for your nice review. The snow makes everything extra magical. I hope you return for another visit. Also, did you see Buttercup's brother, the bull at Chena Hot Springs? He is almost, but not quite, as handsome as Jasper!

Looked really fun.

It was an amazing experience to walk alongside reindeer through a forest. Jane and her husband Doug are passionate about their pets, and Jane's telling us about all things reindeer was stellar. A must if you are in Fairbanks.
