I had no idea you could do this. Apparently you can take trekking trips through the Alaskan mountains with Yaks carrying your gear. The yaks were brought over from the Himalayan mountains as calves. Now that they're all grown up they're ready to start hiking. It's not cheap my friends, but it does sound like a cool way to see the Alaskan backcountry and give your back a break.
Not to mention that Yak stew is YUMMY!!
Yaaaak!
