If riding is more your style, you are more than welcome to ride inside the sled. In fact, this is where you start with another driver. It is a neat perspective on ground level with the snow flying off the dogs paws as they rumble forward. You get to participate in all parts of the operation. Well, you can harness the dogs, if you want.
Participation is optional.
I would do it. The Spirit of the North was started by Jesse, a sled dog racer from Ennis, when she was just seventeen. It helped pay for her racing and gave an opportunity to the dogs that didn't make the team. That is not to say these dogs aren' t fast, because as we have discussed, they are faster than you will believe. Ever since, for five years, dogs have been running in Moonlight.
