What you can expect

  • Skim across snowy trails behind a team of hard-working Alaskan huskies as you experience the ultimate in Alaskan transportation—dog sledding. Play with friendly dogs at the kennel as you learn about the history of mushing, then hop on a sled for a ride along real working mushing trails.

    Arrive at the kennel and get acquainted with a friendly, furry crew of Alaskan huskies, dogs bred and trained specifically to work as efficient sled dogs. Chat with mushers about the history and evolution of the sport, from the days when dog sledding was the primary mode of transportation in remote Alaska to famous sled dog races like the Iditarod.

    After some playtime with the pups, settle into a seat on the sled, wrap yourself in a cozy blanket, and take off across the snow. Cruise along real trails used by mushers and enjoy the scenery as the team of dogs takes you through the winter wonderland.
