Step into the heart of sled dog country for a hands-on kennel visit with working Alaskan Huskies. You’ll learn about pack dynamics and long-distance racing before taking a short dryland mushing cart ride.
Children under 18 must be accompanied by a parent or guardian. Ride length is temperature dependent and determined at the guide’s discretion for dog well-being.
Full refund if cancellation is received before 7 days of the tour. A 20% cancellation fee is charged inside 7 days. No refunds if cancellation is less than 24 hours prior to the tour; day-of-booking cancellations are not refunded. No-shows are charged in full. A positive covid test result with the date is required for a full refund.
How early should I arrive for my tour?
Arrive a maximum of 10–15 minutes before your tour start time. Please do not arrive more than 15 minutes early; wait in your vehicle for a guide to greet you.
Do you provide transportation to the kennel?
No. Transportation is not provided.
What happens if I’m running late?
If you arrive 15–29 minutes late, your tour may be altered to keep guides on schedule (this could mean shorter trail time or less interaction with the dogs). If you arrive more than 30 minutes late for a day tour, you forfeit the tour and will be charged in full.
What should I do if the front gate is closed when I arrive?
If you arrive very early, the front gate may be closed. Please wait for your guide to open it, and do not open the gate.
What should I wear for the tour?
On sunny days, wear long sleeves and pants for mosquito protection. On rainy days, wear warm under layers, boots, and rain gear.
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.
This was a highlight of my visit to Alaska. Chase was our guide. Very down to earth and kind person. He introduced us to each dog that was there for our session and gave us insight into each one. I knew nothing about dog mushing and walked away learning a lot about it while also having great fun and bonding with the dogs a bit. Highly recommended. Thanks Chase!
