  Your real Alaskan adventure begins with a two-mile dog sled ride. Feel
the power, excitement, and energy of our amazing sled dogs as they are
harnessed to our comfortable wheeled sleds. The intrigue of the Iditarod
Trail Sled Dog Race comes alive as you mush through the Alaskan
wilderness to the base of Resurrection Mountain and along Box Canyon
Creek.
Upon return to the dog yard, tour our beautiful kennel facilities,
laugh as a volunteer is dressed up as an Iditarod musher, and cuddle
adorable husky puppies.
Our guides are all Iditarod racers, and
offer a delightful, humorous, behind-the-scenes look at the Seavey
family training for the most demanding race on earth. Guaranteed to
be one of the highlights of your vacation, this tour was chosen as
one of Alaska's Top Twenty Attractions, and is a must-do for all
visitors to the Greatland.
