Elevation Sled Dogs operates guided dog sled tours in the Yukon wilderness. The company offers two signature experiences: the Ultimate Dog Sledding Half-Day Adventure and The Overland Trail Full-Day Expedition. On the half-day tour, guests experience the thrill of mushing their own team of eager huskies, stop at scenic viewpoints for photos, and receive hands-on instruction on driving a sled from professional guides.
The full-day Overland Trail Expedition follows the historic Dawson Overland Trail and is led by an expert musher. That full-day route includes extended trail time, wilderness navigation guided by the musher, and a cozy campfire lunch set amid the landscape. Both tours focus on authentic sled-dog experience and guided participation rather than passive observation.
Elevation Sled Dogs emphasizes experienced guidance and an authentic connection with Alaskan Huskies. Professional guides manage dog teams, trail logistics, and stop locations to ensure a rewarding outdoor adventure. The operation's trip design highlights Yukon scenery, historical trail sections, and practical mushing instruction for first-time drivers and returning adventurers.
Reservations typically cover equipment instruction and guided trail time included in each tour description. Photographic opportunities at scenic stops are integral to the itineraries. Visitors planning for a half-day or full-day excursion can choose based on preferred trail time and on-sled driving experience. Elevation Sled Dogs is featured on The Adventure Collective as a Yukon dog sledding provider.
Tours include clear descriptions in booking information, and staff provide pre-run briefings with instruction so participants understand basic sled handling, safety procedures, and team commands effectively.
