Winter Dog Sledding Tours

Winter Dog Sledding in Knik, Alaska

If you are brave enough to visit Alaska in the winter then you have to go dog sledding! Our 1.5 Hour or 3-hour winter dog sled tour is a great introduction to mushing. Drive or sit in the sled with one of our guides, learn all about how we train and prepare our dogs for races like the 1,000-mile Iditarod, hear exciting tales from the trail, and experience Alaska’s state sport for yourself!

We are the CLOSEST winter dog sled tour to Anchorage and are conveniently only 20 minutes from downtown Wasilla where there are plenty of excellent restaurants. Check our winter location. Our close proximity to Anchorage and Wasilla means less driving on winter roads and warmer temperatures!

Our tours are perfect for all ages, though our shorter 1.5-hour tour is recommended for participants under the age of 14.

The Highlights

Meet Our Sled Dogs

Meet your team of Alaskan Huskies, dogs that have been bred to run in the 1000-mile Iditarod sled dog race. If you want, help prep your team for the run by putting on harnesses and learn how we take care of their feet.

Dog Sled Ride

Choose to ride or help drive the team as part of this incredible mushing experience. Our sleds accommodate both musher and guide so you can try mushing yourself as you travel by dog team down the historic Iditarod trail.

Beautiful Scenery

We run our winter tours out of the Knik historic mushing historic on the Iditarod trail. Mush through beautiful snow-covered trees, and over frozen lakes, and enjoy mountain vistas.
