About This Adventure

Summer Afternoon Fun!

We start this hiking tour in Fairbanks by introducing you to the sport of long distance racing, and our Alaskan Huskies. Find out where this special breed came from and why they are the most popular sled dog in the world. We encourage you to walk around the dog yard and meet our friendly pups!

After introductions we’ll turn loose a group of dogs and hit the trail. The length of trail may be up to three miles, depending on the abilities of our dogs (puppies!) and visitors.

After the hiking portion of the tour, check out some of our winter mushing gear, including the dog sled, as well as human and canine clothing.

Finally – depending on the year – this tour typically wraps up by meeting our new puppies!
