Itinerary
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!

Visited the sled dog kennel since snow sledding was not running. We loved meeting all the dogs. Our guide was great. He answered any questions about the dogs. You could tell that the dogs were well taken care of and happy.

This experience was amazing! The view was beautiful and the dogs were so nice and cute! I am very picky when it comes to customer service especially coming from California, everyone was extremely nice and knowledgeable. Anything we needed answered they had great responses and very informative. They made our experience one of a kind and we Thank them so much!

Took my mom here for a kennel tour for her 60th birthday. She is the biggest dog lover and absolutely loved getting to meet and pet all the dogs and puppies! Was also great getting to learn a bit about the history of dog sledding and what all goes into the team and race. Will be back for a ride next time!

Visiting the kennel was a great experience! Even though we didn’t get to ride a sled, we got a full tour of the grounds, we got to meet (and pet!) so many sweet sled dogs, and even got to play with a new (~3 month old) litter of sled puppies! Dane was very friendly and extremely knowledgeable about the whole operation, sled racing, the dogs, and was training to participate in the Iditarod himself in 2025. Since it’s October the tour “group” was just my husband and myself, so we really got a personal experience. We loved every minute of it. Highly recommend!

Wonderful experience for my husband and I as dog lovers. Our guides were informative and personable. The dogs and puppies were to die for. Great views on the trail. Loved the gifts they offer for purchase and thrilled to be a part of the 17th dog!

We had so much fun! It’s obvious the dogs love what they do by how excited they get. The trainers were informative, the puppies were SO cute and the ride was great! We highly recommend it!

What a fun and interesting experience! Casey was such a wonderful guide who had so much personal knowledge of the Iditarod. The ride is through lush forest-magical! Then the cherry on top was a cuddle session with 7 puppies! I recommend this as a must do activity when visiting Alaska!
