Anchorage Mush Your Own Dog Sled Tour

Excursion Overview

Dog sledding through Talkeetna's winter wonderland

The Anchorage Winter Dog Sledding Tour is an incredible opportunity to learn about Alaska's beloved state sport. Your journey will start with stress-free transportation from Anchorage to Talkeetna, as your expert local guide drives past stunning scenic vistas. Weather permitting, you'll even be able to see Denali, the tallest peak in North America.

You'll arrive in Talkeetna at the homestead of Dallas Seavey, a SIX-time Iditarod Champion, top three finisher in Norway's 2018 Finnmarkslopet, youngest Yukon Quest first place Champion, and former star of National Geographic Channel's Ultimate Survival Alaska. There's no better location to learn about the musher lifestyle and lingo while you bond with your team of pups.

Groups of two guests will share sleds for the mushing portion of this tour. You and your team of Alaskan Huskies will travel 10 km/6 miles through our private, birch-lined trails. Enjoy the complete winter silence, aside from the dogs' excited barks and pounding paws. Teams will stop to alternate mushing positions halfway through so everyone gets to experience both "lead" and "tail" mushing. You'll also have the perfect photo opportunity with the huskies as they bask in the sun, before finishing your ride and crossing the burled arch Finish Line.
