• Dog Sledding:
Husky Express Dog Sled Tours
Have you ever wanted to ride on a sled pulled by a team of huskies flying over the snow? Here's your chance! Join 25-year veteran sled dog musher, Dotty Dennis and her dogs for an exciting winter adventure. A five-mile ride lasts about an hour, depending on how fast the track is. Special event rides can be arranged.
The sleds have a load limit of 375 pounds each --room for about two adults and one or two small children. The scenic ride traverses an uncluttered valley that is reminiscent of the Alaska interior.
And, if you want to get into recreational mushing, racing and lore, Dotty offers a comprehensive hands-on Mushers Course and a Skijoring Clinic. Call for more information.
