It’s great to be a musher and a sled dog in the White Mountains!

You don’t have to travel to Iditarod for this snow sport! In fact, almost any Arizona dog can join the Arizona Musher’s Association and learn to be a sled dog! And when all the snow has melted, these dogs and their owners hit the trails in the White Mountains for hiking and biking.
