1-HR Private SUNSET mush | 1-1.5 HR Experience

For a taste of spring in the Last Frontier join us on our heavenly sunset mush and experience the thrill as we welcome back the presence of the sun. After a long, cold & dark winter, we aren’t the only Alaskan inhabitants that are excited for the sun to return—Sit back and watch as little woodland critters scamper across the trail, listen to the birds chirp and bathe in last rays of sunlight of the day.

This is an interactive tour that includes handling and harnessing the sled dog team. At the halfway mark we stop to let the dogs roll around in the deep snow and let our guests stretch their legs and grab beautiful arctic landscape photo ops with their fellow adventurers. Return back to our Mongolian yurt to warm up from the trail and get an opportunity to purchase souvenirs to remember your adventure.

Add-On’s: Would you like to document your experience? Hire Mushing Co-op photographer to capture the beauty! Package includes digital negatives and print credit delivered to you through an online gallery. *Available at checkout.

**Due to recent outbreak of Omicron we are requiring guests whom have not received the covid vaccine to wear a mask to keep our guides and other clients safe.

Frequently Asked Questions

1. How many people per sled? The number of people we put in a sled is based on comfort. The most we seat are two adults and one child, but sometimes it’s more comfy to just sit one.

2. We’re from a warm climate, will we be cold on this tour? Not only do we provide our guests with cold weather gear, but our sleds are enclosed in a zippered sled bag to block the wind, with reindeer hides and blankets for added warmth.

3. Do we join other guests? Our tours are private. The maximum amount of travelers we host during each given time slot is 6, yet each reservation operates independently of each other. Additionally each sled of two is assigned their own personal professional guide. Tours are conducted at a leisurely pace, without the added burden of lines nor the nuisance of waiting.

4. How many dogs will be on our team? The size of the team is at the guides discrepancy and is based on current trail conditions. A slower softer trail might entice the guide to hook-up 10 huskies, where as a fast hard packed trail might require the guide to reduce the dog power to 8 huskies.

5. What kind of sled dogs do we work with? Our guides have all chosen to work with the Alaskan Husky. You will most definitely hear all about this phenomenal breed during your tour, but to soothe your curiosity at the moment—The Alaskan Husky is the most modern form of sled dog. They stem from the traditional sled dogs (i.e.malamutes & Siberian huskies) and crossed into other working class dogs with a focus on speed and endurance.
