Tour overview:
This Anchorage day tour puts you in the Alaska dog sledding driving seat. After a scenic drive north to Talkeetna and dog mushing country, you will arrive at an Iditarod champion sled dog kennel and get an introduction to mushing your team. Help harness the dogs before setting out on a 10-kilometer (6-mile) self-drive mini expedition! Two guests will share a traditional sled and a small dog team of 4-7 Alaskan huskies. Your group will have a lead musher guiding you in front and a tail musher following you for your safety and comfort. You’ll stop for a photo opportunity with your dog team at about the halfway point. Continuing your dog sledding adventure, you will explore a replica of an official Iditarod checkpoint and learn about the Iditarod Trail Sled Dog Race before crossing the burled arch Iditarod Finish Line into the kennel. Upon return to the Seavey’s kennel, you’ll reward your sled dogs with some treats and warm up with hot beverages. Additionally, enjoy lunch at a local eatery in Talkeetna.

A quick note of thanks for setting up a wonderful trip to all 8 National Parks in Alaska. We were pleased with the organization of the itinerary and all the lodge accommodations. We learned in Bettles that there is a term for people like us ‘Park Collectors.’
