The Experience

What your day looks like

Immerse yourself in the wondrous world of dog mushing! After the bus ride to camp, you will board our 4x4 military vehicle for a wild ride up the mountain, where you will be greeted by mushers and several ecstatic Alaskan huskies! Then enjoy a summer sled ride on our custom-built sleds, where you will cruise through the forest, being towed by these professional athletes. After, learn about the history of dog mushing and soak up some puppy love before perusing our gift shop and returning to town. Your adventure begins with a fascinating historic tour led by your knowledgeable guide through downtown Skagway and along nine miles of breathtaking coastline to our Musher’s Camp® in Dyea. From there, you will embark on an exciting ride up a rugged mountain road in our specialized unimog, surrounded by stunning glacial streams and waterfalls. Upon reaching the top, you will be greeted by your musher and a team of energetic Alaskan Huskies, ready to take you on an exhilarating ride down a mile-long trail deep within the Tongass National Rainforest on a custom-designed, wheeled sled. After your thrilling ride, your unimog will take you to a breathtaking overlook of the Dyea tidal flats, where you might see eagles, bears, seals, and wildflowers, all with the backdrop of snow-capped mountains. Next, enjoy a "Kennel Talk," where we will share fascinating information about dog sledding and answer any questions you may have. You'll also have plenty of time to play with our adorable puppies, whose socialization is essential to their racing success. Finally, your visit will be completed with a cozy fire and a unique gift shop.
