The most intimate summer dog sledding experience in Alaska! Our carts are specifically for dog mushing and seat just two people each for an authentic adventure. Your ride takes place on our own secluded, private training trails, surrounded by Alaska spruce and birch trees. These are the same trails we use to train for Iditarod in the winter! Our carts are 100% dog-powered, just like a sled, so you can take in the natural sounds around you, without any noisy motors or nearby traffic! After every run, we turn all the dogs loose to run around freely and interact with guests. Enjoy meeting and playing with our champion dogs in an open house-style tour, where questions are encouraged! Your visit also includes a tour of the kennel and a nature walk to our hand-built, wooden pavilion with a Denali view, for an interactive demonstration of our winter gear and race sled! We provide complimentary cookies and water for you to cool off from our summer fun. We can't wait to see you soon!

Q&A

Q: What's the age limit for kids on the dog sledding adventure?

A: Kids ages 6 and up can join in on the fun! They just need to be able to sit in the cart securely, so if your child is smaller, definitely check with the provider about their specific weight restrictions. It's a great experience for kids, and they'll love the chance to play with the dogs afterward!

Q: Can you reschedule if the weather's bad?

A: Absolutely! If conditions aren’t safe for dog mushing, they’ll work with you to find a new date. Just be sure to check their cancellation policy when booking. They want everyone to have a great and safe experience, so weather cancellations are handled pretty well.

Q: What should I wear for this dog sledding experience?

A: Dress in layers! They provide rain gear and boots, but under that, you'll want something comfortable that you can move in. I recommend wearing a light long-sleeve shirt or a fleece, plus some comfy pants. And don’t forget sunscreen—Alaska summer sun isn’t to be underestimated!

Just booked the Summer Dog Sledding Adventure in Willow—any tips?

I just got tickets for this dog sledding adventure for my husband’s birthday and I’m so excited! I hear it’s super intimate and you get to meet the dogs, which is awesome. I hope the weather holds up, but I love that they can reschedule if it’s bad. Anyone been before? What should I know?

Summer Dog Sledding Adventure—Is it worth it?

I’m considering buying this as a gift for my parents. They love nature and dogs, but I’m not sure if the experience is as good as it sounds. Has anyone done it? What’s it really like?
