Tour Details
Autumn is one of the most beautiful and quiet times of the year in Alaska. The leaves are changing, the weather is cooler and most importantly the mosquitoes from summer are almost all gone, too! It is also the time when mushers start to train their dogs for the winter to come and for races like the Iditarod Trail Sled Dog Race, the thousand-mile dog sled race across Alaska.
This tour includes all the elements of our winter dog sled tour with plenty of time to play with the dogs, take photos, and a beautiful ride with the team.
