Our guides often share fascinating insights into life in interior Alaska, winter travel, & the culture of snowmachining here.

We liked our tour guide and was able to get an extra 10-15 minutes on the snowmobile. We were also able to get some nice pictures of the surrounding landscape and mountains. There was a lot of snow so it was great conditions for snowmobiling.
