About

Enjoy miles of gorgeous Alaskan wilderness while you slide through the snow on a sled, that’s being pulled by a team of dogs — many of whom have won the Iditarod, Yukon Quest, or other races. What's even better? These dogs truly find purpose in showing you the Alaskan way of traveling!

You’ll spend the first 15 minutes gearing up in the provided warm clothing. Then you’ll have about 20 minutes to meet the dogs, one of which is the last few purebred state dog of Alaska, the Alaskan Malamute. You will also get to cuddle the puppies, and chat with the mushers — usually locals who are actively training for races. This will give you a real sense of what their training regimens are like and a chance to absorb their passion for the sport.

Then it’s off to the races! You will hop onto one of the sleds — all of which were custom-made by one of the mushers. For the next 20–25 minutes, the team of 6-8 excited dogs will pull you along a couple miles of gorgeous Alaskan wilderness as you feel the wind on your face and the excitement of dog sledding (you could be riding up to 14 miles depending on the weather).

A couple fun facts about this kennel: the only kennel with the state dog of Alaska, the Alaskan Malamute; this is a no chain kennel; the Alaskan Malamute is one of the oldest blood line of working dog of the world and is the biggest and strongest sled dogs; the purebred Alaskan Malamute is only 1% of the sled dogs in his homestead today.

All ages welcome but only age 6+ can get on the sled for safety purposes; must be age 18+ to book.
