Location
2270 Hattie Creek Rd
Hattie Creek Road
Arctic Dog Adventure Co. is located approximately 30 minutes from downtown Fairbanks. Driving time may vary according to road conditions. **Please note, GPS MAY NOT WORK. Make sure you are coming via the Elliott Highway (AK-2) NOT Parks Highway/Goldstream Rd/Sheep Creek/Spinach Creek Roads. If you go the wrong way, you will end up on a trail not a road! Follow our directions below ** ​ 1) Head North from Fairbanks on the Elliott/Steese Highway (AK-2). Ten miles outside of town, you will reach Fox, the junction of the Steese and the Elliot highways (AK-6 & AK-2). Go straight through Fox on AK-2 (turning right will take you up the Steese Highway (AK-6), turning left will take you to the Goldstream Valley). 2) 3.5 miles past Fox, at the top of a steep and windy hill, take a LEFT onto OLD MURPHY DOME ROAD. 3) Drive 7 miles down Old Murphy Dome Road and take a LEFT at the first street sign you see: HATTIE CREEK ROAD. 4) We are the FOURTH driveway on the RIGHT. We have a sign reading "Arctic Dog Adventure Co." at the bottom of the driveway. Drive up the driveway. Parking is on the right. If you miss the driveway, do NOT make a left hand turn into the drive -- this is a good way to get stuck. Go back up to the top of the hill to turn around in order to make the right hand turn into the drive.

This is the best part of Fairbanks! - The bar is pretty high for Alaska. It's a gorgeous place with the most helpful and friendly people. Regardless, the Arctic Dog day hike was my favorite part of my trip! I hiked with a sweet dog named Winken who wanted nothing more than to get me to the top of the ridge. We had a beautiful day and everyone on the hike was friendly and outgoing. Lisbet, our host and guide, could not have been more gracious and helpful. She's sweet and lovely, and has great stories to tell. Most of all, loves her dogs more than anything. She also makes a mean chocolate cake that we got to enjoy when we reached summit. This trip isn't just for dog lovers; it's a great way to experience the off-grid lifestyle and Alaska back country.

Husky Hike - I booked this excursion for a group of 8, including a one year old, for something fun and outdoors to do in Fairbanks. Our group traveled from Fairbanks to Vancouver over two weeks and this was definitely one of the highlights of our trip! We LOVED every bit of our time with Lisbet. We all got to pick out our own husky which was fun in itself. Meeting all the dogs and learning about their unique behaviors was a blast. Hiking up the mountain I hardly had to do any work! Cloudberry pulled me the entire way up and had me laughing and smiling the whole time. Lisbet let us hang out at the fire pit as we ate her homemade brownies, drank hot chocolate, picked wild berries, and learned about her life as a musher. By the end of the afternoon we were all sad to leave. We hope to visit Lisbet and her pups again in the winter and see her dogs really work!
