Description
Embark on an dog sledding adventure down the historic Yukon Quest trail on this tour from Fairbanks that includes a parka, boots, and bibs. Enjoy a slow paced, yet action-packed private tour.
Step into the Last Frontier and embark on an extraordinary journey of a life time! Immerse yourself in the essence of Alaskan life as you partake in the time-honored tradition of mushing along the legendary Yukon Quest 1,000-mile race trail!
Our artisan mushing experience is designed people who would like to avoid crowded tour groups and get one-on-one time with the dogs. Enjoy the private setting guided by our knowledgeable and friendly guides.
Take time to meet each of the affectionate canine athletes on your team and get your husky selfie before being seated in your enclosed and cushioned sled, blanketed by quilts of warm fur.
Sit back in your dog sled chariot as the team enthusiastically whisks you away down our majestic snow-capped black spruce trail. Get ready to have your breath taken away as we glide over frozen ponds and streams with vibrant sunrises and sunsets hitting our frosted cheeks and lashes.
At the midway point of our expedition, we pause on a serene frozen pond to allow our four-legged companions a roll in the powdery snow. This is the perfect opportunity for our two-legged adventurers to stretch your legs and capture breathtaking snapshots of the stunning arctic scenery with your frosted husky team.
Once we return from the trail, we invite our chilly travellers inside to warm up in our authentic Mongolian Yurt next to the fire. The wood heat provides the perfect dry warmth needed to thaw your toes and warm your soul after a epic cold day on the trail!
We provide high quality cold weather gear for our guests, including parkas, snow pants, boots, hats and mittens. We also offer an enclosed sled bag equipped with cushions, pillows & fur blankets to ensure you are comfortable throughout your entire riding experience.
Our tour is catered to small groups to provide an immersive & leisurely experience.
