The vehicle the dogs pull is a side by side four wheeler that seats 5 with room for 2 to stand in the back. In order not to over tax the dogs this type of vehicle allows the musher to help the team up hills and good braking system for the down hills but the dogs do most of the pulling along the way. Your guide will instruct you on how to pan and provide a pan with pay dirt for you to try your luck.
