Homestead Cabin Trips
Experience a real Alaskan homestead. We offer all-inclusive stays in your very own cabin on a bluff overlooking the Tanana River. Spend your days mushing a dog team, snowshoeing, ice fishing, carving a wooden spoon, enjoying home-cooked meals in our cabin, taking in the sunset by an open fire, and if you’re lucky, basking in the northern lights. This combination trip is our best value and most popular!
Winter Camping Trips
A big part of the joy of dog sledding is camping out with the dogs! Camping allows you to travel farther and be outside more. We use traditional handmade canvas wall tents with wood stoves and spruce bough floors. Learn camping basics like gathering firewood, water, and boughs and spend an unforgettable night in a cozy nest of boughs, caribou hide pads, and very warm down sleeping bags. These trips deliver unforgettable adventure.
Basecamp Trips
Gliding through a winter wonderland to the rhythm paws on snow and scrape of sled runners on ice is an unforgettable experience. Our basecamp trips are designed to let you get to know an incredible place by camping there for multiple days. By day we explore by dogsled, snowshoe and ski and at night we retire to a cozy cabin or heated winter tent. Basecamp trips are run in multiple locations across Alaska’s Interior and Arctic.
