Join Dew Claw Kennel in Fairbanks for a hands-on 3-4 hour mushing adventure through Alaska's stunning wilderness. Feel the power of huskies and witness breathtaking winter scenery in an active, authentic outing.
Dew Claw Kennel runs expert dog mushing adventures in Interior Alaska that connect guests with Alaskan huskies and wild winter landscapes. The operation offers three signature experiences: the Day Tripper, a 3-4 hour mushing adventure through scenic trails where guests harness and drive sleds; the Overnight Mushing Adventure, a two-day trip with cozy heated tents, campfire meals, snowshoeing options, and aurora viewing; and a multi-day Dog Mushing & Camping trip that combines winter camping, fire-cooked meals, small-group trail runs, and hands-on mushing instruction.
Guides at Dew Claw Kennel include leaders with Iditarod experience, providing seasoned direction, safe handling, and wilderness knowledge. Dogs are friendly Alaskan huskies trained for sled work and guest interaction, and guests learn to bond with teams while participating in harnessing, sled driving, and basic care. Trips emphasize small groups and active participation, balancing adrenaline with quiet wilderness moments and photo opportunities. Accommodations range from day-trip sleds to heated tents for overnight stays, with meals prepared around campfires on multi-day itineraries. Dew Claw Kennel prioritizes safety, clear instruction, and environmentally respectful practices in remote settings. Dew Claw Kennel caters to guests seeking immersive, authentic dog mushing in Interior Alaska—whether trying a first-time 3-4 hour run, spending a night under the aurora, or committing to a multi-day camping and mushing expedition led by experienced guides. Bookings include gear guidance, clear pre-trip briefings, and support for varied fitness levels so visitors can focus on the dogs, the trail, and memorable Alaska moments, and attentive guest support through every step.
