Engage with the Alaskan huskies as they guide you through the stunning landscapes of Alaska, experiencing the wilderness like a true musher. But the adventure doesn’t end there.
Soar above the snow-capped peaks of the Talkeetna Mountains in our Hatcher Pass Helicopter Tour, encapsulating an awe-inspiring view of Alaska that is truly unforgettable. Uncover the untouched beauty of Alaska from a perspective that very few get to experience.
Our journey begins on land, with a dog sled adventure guided by our family of Alaskan huskies. Navigate through the wilderness through Alaska’s beautiful terrain, during summer or fall, depending on your preference.

Witness jagged peaks, the Little Susitna River, Summit Lake, and even the 1956 U.S. Air Force KB-29 wreckage on Bald Mountain Ridge.
