This was so much fun. The 8 sled dogs have all run in the Iditerod and they were anxious to run. I was quickly tucked into the sled and another woman stood on the back. The driver had us going in only a few minutes. We went on the frozen Chena River. We were going surprisingly fast. It was so interesting to see how intent and focused the dogs were. We were on the sled probably 25 minutes. I was very cold so that was long enough. The driver was so sweet and interesting. I'm sorry I can't remember her name. We had great views of the surrounding area, too. Highly recommend. I'd do it again and again.

Remember to dress well to keep warm, including a face covering, thermal gloves, and cozy footware. Appreciate your musher and her team, take ample pictures, and enjoy the beautiful winter experience!

Best adventure in Fairbanks. We bring all family and visitors here when they come up. We’ve tried nearly every mushing experience in Fairbanks, after we found Trail Breaker we stopped searching. This is it. It’s where we will always come.
