I had a wondeful time with the folks of Sky High Wilderness Ranch. From the moment of pick up to the goodbye of drop off it was a wonderful way to spend a half day. We learnt a little about the history of the place from Trudy on the drive up and got a sense of the connection that the... More

Big thank you to Jocelyn and Gary who made my dog sledding trip unforgettable! Everything was just perfect. I really enjoyed the half day tour across Fish Lake and the stunning views. Jocelyn is an awesome guide! She didn't go too fast and she stopped several times to make sure that everyone (including the dogs) was ok. We also had... More

Rented smaller ("Northern") cabin. It advertised a solar shower, but drain did not work either of the days. They tried to repair but no luck. Dog sledding was fun, but they do not allocate dogs very well. I weigh 80 pounds more than companion that went, and they had same number of dogs on each of our sleds. I was... More

I heartily recommend the 4 day dog sledding adventure at Sky High Wilderness Ranch. It really is an adventure. We went up for my daugher's 30th birthday. It was an activity suitable for both of us, even though I did more huffing and puffing. What an incredible place. The lodge is so authentic and timeless. Completely off the grid and... More

My first visit to the Yukon and plan to go back, owed in part to the wonderful experience of dog sledding with Sky High. I've had many different adventures in my life and this ranks in the top. From Gary picking us up at our hotel and his cheerful and knowledgeable answers to all our questions on the way out,... More

We spent four days with Gary and Trudy at Sky High over Christmas 2012. The dramatic surroundings of the cabin add to the endless fun provided by the mushing, snow shoeing and ice fishing... sadly the northern lights didn't show themselves to us but the never ending bouncing of the dogs kept us more than amused. Joselyn's accommodating nature and... More

We bought from Northern Tales a half-day tour called Ultimate which included a snowmobile ride, another on a dogsled and a snowshoe walk. They picked us up from the hotel and took us to the Sky High Wilderness Ranch. Once there, we learned that we would not drive the snowmobile and instead we should ride on the backseat or in... More

Thank you for your review. Unfortunately there was a misunderstanding with the booking right from the start. The tour you booked was a snow mobile ride as you stated (not drive) as well as a dog sled Ride, snow shoe walk and tobogganing. The literature given to you at the time of booking from Northern Tales had a detailed description... More

What a great staff and a beautiful location. We did the multi activity afternoon adventure - which due to our short visit was just perfect and gave us all a nice idea of what it was all about. Had a blast!

We had a couple days left at the end of a Yukon trip with no specific activity planned. We discovered this place in a travel brochure and rented the small Northern Cabin for 2 nights. The cabin was well constructed, cosy, and turned out to be the highlight of the trip. Propane lights and oil lamps (being off the grid)... More
