We took the "Real Alaska" tour which included visiting the sled dog lot, holding puppies, riding in a cart pulled by the dogs, lunch, hiking to the toe of Exit glacier, watching sockeye salmon spawn and a driving tour of Seward. It was great to learn about the Iditarod from people who actually do it and their passion for the sport really shines. It was great to experience how much the dogs live their job! Our tall and slim guide Joe Allen really personalized the trip with facts about AK and a lot of great personal stories. We came to Seward the day before leaving on a cruise and I highly recommend this tour! The bar for the rest of our stay in Alaska has been set very high!
