The view from the sled.

In 2008, my son John and I went dog sledding with Sam Deltour, a Belgian musher with Mitch Seavey's Iditarod dog sled team. After a few minutes of instruction, Sam turned the sled over to me and, with my son seated in the sled with a small camera, we went dog sledding for two hours through the Kenai National Wildlife Refuge near Sterling, Alaska.



In the second video, the peak that can be seen in the distance is Mt. Augustine, an active volcano on the Alaska Peninsula that erupted in 2009.
