Overnight Dog Sledding Adventure
Overview
We offer private mushing adventures, which means the trip is specifically tailored to your group. Guests are invited to participate in all aspects of dog care, but that is optional. Your guides are always there to ensure the dogs are getting excellent care. Your guides are experienced mushers, Dan & Jodi have both completed the 1000 mile Iditarod Sled Dog Race, and they share their years of experience and stories from the trail with guests.
