What To Expect

The best Alaska dog sledding and dog mushing experience!

Today, dog mushing is a fascinating sport and hobby, but it was once the primary means of transportation across the snowy landscapes of old-time Alaska.

Before your ride, take time to meet your mushing team, interact with our Alaskan huskies, and capture photos together. Then, mush into the twilight of the Alaskan wilderness and experience the thrill of the ride. Enjoy the scenery and feel the power of the happy, hardworking dogs as they pull the sled across the snow at surprising speeds.

After your 1-hour ride, warm up in a cozy yurt and enjoy hot beverages in the peaceful atmosphere of the Alaskan wilderness.
