We start this tour by introducing you to the sport of long distance racing, and our Alaskan Huskies. Find out where this special breed came from, why they all look so different, and why they are the most popular sled dog used for racing. We encourage you to walk around the dog yard and meet their different personalities. They’re super friendly!
After introductions we’ll turn loose a group of dogs and hit the trail! We may be walking a portion of our adults or our puppies – depending on whose turn it is. The length of trail may be up to 3 miles, depending on the abilities of our visitors. If you want this experience, but have concerns about the distance or the terrain, please let us know during the booking process. We’ll be happy to accommodate you!
After the hiking portion of the tour you can check out all of our important winter mushing gear, including the dog sled and doggy clothing! Throughout the entire experience you will have plenty of time for photographs and doggy-loving.
Oh, did we mention there will be puppies at the end of the tour, too!?

We are located approximately 15 miles / 45 minutes northwest of Fairbanks. Drive times are longer if coming from Chena Hot Springs (2.5 hours), North Pole (1.5 hours) or Cleary Summit (1.25 hours).
We do not provide transportation to/from our location. We strongly suggest that you rent your own vehicle for getting around the Fairbanks area. This will be the most affordable and provide you with the greatest level of freedom. Taxis and other ride-sharing companies can be expensive and unreliable for getting to our location.
Most of the time a small, compact car can make the trip up here just fine. However, in winter, snow storms may force us to temporarily restrict our tours to only those visitors with all-wheel drive (AWD) or (4WD).
