GREAT Authentic Alaskan Experience!! - Sarah, Chloe and Amelia did a fantastic job! We were so impressed by the the dogs. There were almost 100 of them. Any that we interacted with were friendly and well socialized. We took cart rides (no snow) and enjoyed driving them ourselves. Then Chloe gave us a tour of the kennels and the equipment used. GREAT, authentic Alaskan experience.

First class and personal experience! - Awesome experience! We were too late for snow mushing and too early for dry mushing, but they improvised with a side by side and gave us the same full experience. Samantha was extremely knowledgeable and we learned so much about mushing and the running of the Iditarod. Her passion for the dogs and the sport were evident. We interacted with the dogs and their pups also. First class operation all the way around. I highly recommend them!

Great experience mushing in the snow! - While we chose to ride instead of mush, this excursion was fantastic. Not a simple ride around the field, you get to mush through the woods for a few miles. The staff is wonderful - you can tell they really care about the dogs and that everyone enjoys their time. We got to get up close and meet some of the animals, see the puppies and equipment used. Learned just how much work goes into the Iditarod. They put extra effort into helping a family with children enjoy their ride - staff even took pictures for them. Took the time to answer everyone's questions and did a great job taking the bus through the rough road to get there. We got picked up in Talkeetna - you should let them drive you there, as the road can get a bit rough. Highly recommend!!

Fantastic Experience - I absolutely loved my time mushing and hope to return and do it again. We went on a 3 mile loop through the woods and got to meet several race dogs.

Amazing dog sled treat- especially knowing Dallas has won six Iditarod races, plus his father and his father! - The is was an epic trail ride! What a treat to mush with the team of Iditarod champions and future champions. So fun with my son.
