An Immersive Dog Mushing Experience
The “Full Day Adventure” is reserved for those wanting to learn to drive a dog sled and team of Alaskan Huskies. You’ll be with a personal guide that will give you one on one instruction as we develop your skills. You’ll start out driving the tag sled behind your guide to learn the ropes. If you are ready on the way home, we’ll offer you the chance to take the helm by driving your team from the front sled. It’s a thrill and beware mushing sled dogs is often addicting!

Details
We start with a “Mushing 101” orientation and a discussion of our trail systems that we will journey on. Our trails provide a variety of options, which are breath taking and give you amazing photo opportunities of Denali. Some of our trails are more challenging than others so we’ll want to spend time talking with you about your wants and comfort zones. The idea is to have fun and let us share with you our lifestyle and love of our dogs.
Next we’ll get you geared up so you’ll be comfortable in Alaska winter weather. We will send you a basic clothing list and will chat with you before you arrive. We provide heavy Arctic over parkas, mitts, boots and bibs to supplement what you have but you’ll need to bring your warmest clothes and basic clothing list as well.

Once we are all ready to be outside up we’ll head out to the kennel to meet our Iditarod racing Alaskan Huskies. This is an exciting time so expect our dogs to be making lots of noise as they howl and bark “pick me, pick me”!
This is a “hands on” day so we’ll be teaching you all the basics of harnessing the team and getting them ready for our trip together. We like to have our guests involved in all the activities of not just running them but also involved in the daily care as well.
Your guide will be mushing with you on our custom “Double Driver Sleds” that gives you the opportunity to be active in driving the team. This individualized way to learn gives you one on one instruction throughout the day. You’ll be excited to see your skills grow hour by hour. You’ll find the dogs to be amazingly strong and having one of us with you removes any fear factor and makes this day all fun.

We will travel over 25 to 30 miles together throughout the day in some of the most amazing country you could imagine. Bring your camera!
In the morning we’ll do a “shake down run” to teach you the basics and to build your confidence. At lunch time we’ll give the dogs a short break and meal for them. As they take a rest break, we’ll join Kathi for a wonderful homemade meal for us as well. Be ready for her amazing cookies for desert!
As we take off to go explore new trails after lunch, hang on tight as they will literally blast out of our kennel to get going. You’ll be comfortable on a sled by now and we’ll make this a fun long run to explore new trails and make new adventures before returning home to our kennel.
Once home we take care of dogs together. Each husky will get their evening dinner at a pat on the head before we go inside to warm up and share our stories and photos we’ve taken along the way.
Most likely you’ll find yourself falling in love with one or two of the sweet dogs that took you on this adventure. Before we say farewell most guests wander back to the kennel to say goodbye to their favorite husky.
