Husky Hike - Guided Nature Walk w/ Siberian Huskies

Hike with Siberian Huskies through the boreal forest of Interior Alaska. After a brief tour of the homestead, we will visit the dog yard and you will meet your hiking partner. You will learn to harness your husky, and then together we will embark on a nature walk through the old growth boreal forest that surrounds the homestead. We will point out wildflowers, trees, and animals on our walk up to the top of the ridge, where vast panoramic views of the Chatanika River Valley and the White Mountains await. We will sit on top of the ridge and enjoy a home-baked snack and a hot drink before we descend back down through the cranberry bushes and ferns to the kennel. Arctic Dog Adventure Co. is the first certified eco tourism dog sled company in Alaska. We pride ourselves in offering dog sled tours of the highest quality while striving to lessen our environmental impact.

Q&A

Q: Is there an age limit for participating in the Husky Hike?

A: Yes, the minimum age for the Husky Hike is 8 years old, and kids under 12 should be accompanied by an adult. It's a great family activity but keep in mind that younger kids might need a little help with the huskies since they are quite strong! Just make sure everyone is dressed for the weather.

Q: What should I wear for the Husky Hike? Is it chilly in the forest?

A: Definitely dress in layers! The weather in Fairbanks can change quickly, especially in the boreal forest. Wear good hiking boots and bring a waterproof jacket just in case. It can get chilly when you're at the ridge, so a warm hat and gloves are also a good idea!

Q: Can this experience be rescheduled? What if the weather is bad?

A: Yes, Arctic Dog Adventure Co. is pretty flexible! If the weather doesn’t cooperate, they’ll honor your booking and let you reschedule for another day. Just make sure to check their cancellation policy for specific details.

Husky Hike Experience - Worth It?

Hey everyone! I’m thinking about gifting the Husky Hike in Fairbanks to my sister for her birthday. Has anyone done it? I love the idea of walking through the boreal forest with those beautiful huskies. The home-baked snack and hot drink sounds awesome too! Just wondering if it’s as great as it sounds. Thanks!

Can’t Decide on the Husky Hike for My Family Trip!

Hey guys! I’m planning a trip to Alaska with my family next month, and I’m torn between the Husky Hike and a more traditional sightseeing tour. I love dogs, and my kids are 10 and 12. Is the hike engaging enough for them? I want to make sure they have fun!
