Overview

The most intimate summer dog sledding experience in Alaska! Our carts are specifically for dog mushing and seat just two people each for an authentic adventure.

Your ride takes place on our own secluded, private training trails, surrounded by Alaska spruce and birch trees. These are the same trails we use to train for Iditarod in the winter! Our carts are 100% dog-powered, just like a sled, so you can take in the natural sounds around you, without any noisy motors or nearby traffic!

After every run, we turn all the dogs loose to run around freely and interact with guests. Enjoy meeting and playing with our champion dogs in an open house-style tour, where questions are encouraged!

Your visit also includes a tour of the kennel and a nature walk to our hand-built, wooden pavilion with a Denali view, for an interactive demonstration of our winter gear and race sled!

We provide a complimentary snack and water for you to cool off from our summer fun. We can't wait to see you soon!

What To Expect

The most intimate summer dog sledding experience in Alaska! We're a family operation and that includes our team of dogs that enjoy meeting guests just as much as we do! From the moment you arrive, you'll be greeted by a yard full of excited, happy dogs. You'll get to know your guide and meet the dog team. Our dogs are very friendly and love to give kisses!

Watch their energy level skyrocket as we get the team ready to go, then hit our private trails for an approximately 1-2 mile ride, depending on weather conditions. We use carts specially designed to simulate a sled on dry land. They are 100% dog-powered so you can take in all of the natural sounds around you! Each cart seats just two people for a truly authentic and intimate experience.

After your ride, we'll head on a nature walk to our hand-carved, wooden pavilion with a Denali view for a hands-on presentation of the gear we use to train in the wintertime. We'll bring a few dogs with us too!

Check out our Iditarod race sled, try stepping onto the runners and into the shoes of an Alaskan musher. We love sharing tales from the trails and will happily answer all of your questions!
