Percy DeWolfe Dog Sled Races

The Yukon Quest Dog Sled Race is a 1000 mile dog sled race that runs between the United States and Canada. It covers many different terrains which includes frozen river, mountain ranges and boreal forests. Mushers and their teams are often at odds with the elements and must be able to care for themselves and their dogs in whatever situation can develop. Thank you Michelle for your wonderful picture of the final musher out of Eagle.
