During the months of June-August, the Interior of Alaska can see temperatures rise up to 90 degrees Fahrenheit. No, not every season is filled with snow! During these hot dog days of summer our Northern bred (double coated) Alaskan Huskies can’t run their usual mileage at risk of overheating. This is their summer vacation that is filled with loose walks & fun in the sun.
Join us for a mushing presentation to learn all about working dog temperament, pack mentality and 1,000-mile races, such as the Yukon Quest & Iditarod, and meet each member of the team. Then jump into our comfortable UTV for a quick mush around the block.
*Cart ride is dictated by weather and is at the musher’s discretion to skip the cart ride portion if the temperature puts the dogs well-being at risk. -
