Summer Dog Sledding Adventure in Willow, Alaska

Overview

The most intimate summer dog sledding experience in Alaska! Our carts are specifically for dog mushing and seat just two people each for an authentic adventure.

Your ride takes place on our own secluded, private training trails, surrounded by Alaska spruce and birch trees. These are the same trails we use to train for Iditarod in the winter! Our carts are 100% dog-powered, just like a sled, so you can take in the natural sounds around you, without any noisy motors or nearby traffic!

After every run, we turn all the dogs loose to run around freely and interact with guests. Enjoy meeting and playing with our champion dogs in an open house-style tour, where questions are encouraged!

Your visit also includes a tour of the kennel and a nature walk to our hand-built, wooden pavilion with a Denali view, for an interactive demonstration of our winter gear and race sled!

We provide complimentary cookies and water for you to cool off from our summer fun. We can't wait to see you soon!

We absolutely loved our ride with the Huskies! The dogs and the guides were amazing and my daughter adored the puppies. We would love to come back again some time!

Very fun and educational. We enjoyed learning about dog-sledding and the Iditarod. The ride itself was fun, but be prepared to get dirty if you go when there’s no snow. The host was very congenial and clearly loves what he does. The dogs also clearly love pulling the sled and seem very happy.

Matthew and Liz gave our family of 6 adults a once-in-a-lifetime experience. We learned all about the Iditarod and what it takes to be a musher. We met their 55 Alaskan Huskies. We had an AMAZING 2 mile trail ride in a 2 person sled with Matt, Liz, and their 3rd musher steering 3 teams of 9 dogs each. The dogs were FAST and so happy to pull a sled! The trails thru the forest filled with Fall foliage was truly beautiful. Then we met a litter of Alaskan Husky puppies, and were able to climb in the puppy pen and let them crawl all over us. Nothing beats that experience! The Failors are the real deal and this is an authentic experience, not a tourist trap. The Failors take excellent care of their dogs, and the summer sled tours keep them in shape. Matthew is an Iditarod champion musher with an impressive trophy shelf. You'll have an incredible time, and I recommend Alaskan Husky Adventures very highly.
