Join Us on an Alaskan Sled Dog Adventure
We believe that there’s no better way to immerse yourself into the backwoods of Alaska than on the back of a dog sled. With our Alaskan dog sledding tours, you can experience the pure thrill and adventure of mushing a team of Alaskan huskies with an experienced guide. We’ll show you the ropes from harnessing your team of dogs to driving a sled. We’ll be mushing with you all the way on our Tandem Sleds so you can focus on just having fun.
Our Alaskan dog sledding tours are customized to your comfort level and experience. You’ll have the opportunity to have a “hands on” experience of driving the sled or enjoying the ride on custom seats with one an experienced guide taking the reins.
Our home and kennel looks out over Denali, the tallest mountain in North America. And while we can’t guarantee what Alaska’s backcountry has in store for you, we often encounter wildlife on our trips, such as moose, fox, and the occasional wolf. Have your camera ready! Within our overnight trips you may also get the perfect view of the Northern Lights.
Often our guests are concerned about getting cold during our Mush together. No worries, we’ve got you covered. Come wearing the winter clothes you have, and we’ll provide you with extra warm Parkas, boots, and other essentials to keep you warm and comfortable during your trip — we just ask you read our clothing list on what you’ll be expected to bring before you arrive.
