Dog Sled Adventures

Alaska Dog Sledding Tours - Late Winter in the Ray Mountains

You fly (by regular scheduled mail plane from Fairbanks) to the village of Tanana, where we meet you and help teach you what you need to know to drive your own team of sled dogs in the woods around the village.

Then we pack up our sleds and head up over the highlands to the north and down to a log cabin at the foot of the mountains.

We’ll then spend the next days exploring alpine valleys by dogsled, staying in a primitive shelter cabin up in the mountains, or possibly a large winter tent (both are heated by wood stoves), and moving at the pace that suits us. We may wish to undertake a winter ascent of one of the adjacent mountains, or explore around on snowshoes, viewing a variety of boreal forest animals and their sign, the aurora, hopefully lots of sun, and spectacular mountain scenery.

Our dogs are friendly and personable, and our dogsledding is great fun. We supply accommodations, food, and all the arctic gear and outer clothing that you need.
