Chase, a former Yukon Quest racer, runs an outstanding dog mushing operation that visitors consistently praise as a highlight of their Alaska trip. Travelers love how he introduces each dog individually, sharing their personalities and backgrounds while guests get plenty of time to pet and bond with the enthusiastic team. His knowledge of mushing history and racing experience shines through in engaging, informative talks that appeal to complete beginners and those with prior interest alike. The dogs themselves steal the show with their obvious excitement to run and well-trained discipline. The experience works beautifully year-round, with visitors enjoying both snowy winter runs and summer excursions on ATVs through fall foliage. Families particularly appreciate how welcoming and down-to-earth Chase is, making the experience educational without being stuffy. Thoughtful touches like a warm yurt and rain gear for wet mornings show the care put into guest comfort. This is clearly a genuine operation where the strong bond between musher and dogs is immediately apparent.
My husband and I had an amazing time during the dog sled tour! Chase was very friendly, knowledgeable and easy to talk to. It started off with meeting each of the dogs and getting to know them and how it all started. It's obvious that Chase loves what he does and truly cares for his dogs. He made the whole experience fun, exciting and unforgettable! We want to come back and do it again in the snow. Highly recommend!
