"Going to the see the Iditarod was the fulfillment of a lifetime dream for
me. Ever since reading "Call of the Wild" in grade school I have dreamed of
braving the last frontier. After reading a review of Montagna's trip in Outdoor
Photographer magazine, I signed up for the adventure of a lifetime.
Montagna's tour was the perfect blend of guided tour and individualism,
attentive enough to guide us to the key things we needed to see, without
creating an overbearing tour where every second is planned out".
