Visit Alaskan local Leslie's sled dog kennel. Income from tours allows Leslie to continue the grand tradition of dog sledding by training young mushers and helping them raise funds to compete in the annual Alaskan dog sled races that have become so popular all over the world. Two passengers in the sled husband's company to ride the same sled, sledding in the forest road, splashing white snowflakes, the process is quite thrilling (experience about 20-25 minutes)! While waiting for a ride, you'll also have the opportunity to get up close and personal with cute dogs.

Q&A

Q: Is there an age limit for the dog sledding experience? Can kids join?

A: Yes, kids can definitely join! There’s no strict age limit, but they need to be able to sit comfortably in the sled. Usually, children aged 5 and up do great. Just make sure they’re bundled up for the cold since Fairbanks can be chilly, especially in winter!

Q: What happens if the weather is bad? Will they cancel?

A: They’re pretty flexible with weather. If conditions are unsafe, they’ll reschedule. It’s good to call ahead on the day of your trip just to check in. They really want everyone to have a great time and stay safe!

Q: What should I wear for the dog sledding ride?

A: Layering is key! You'll want a good base layer, a warm sweater, and a windproof jacket. Don’t forget gloves, a hat, and waterproof boots because it can get really cold and snowy. Leslie provides some blankets for the sled, but being prepared is the best!

Just did the dog sledding in Fairbanks - it was amazing!

I took my partner for a surprise birthday gift and oh man, it was such a hit! We got to ride with Leslie's dogs for about 25 minutes and they were super friendly. The sledding through the snowy forest was thrilling! The whole experience is just breathtaking, especially when you meet the pups beforehand. Highly recommend it for anyone considering!

Thinking of gifting the dog sled ride - any tips?

I’m planning to gift this experience for my sister's birthday. She loves dogs and the outdoors, but I’ve never been. Is it worth it? Any tips on what to expect? Also, how’s the whole process with the dogs? I’ve heard they get really excited!
