Ride straight into the excitement of race day on our Iditarod Snowmobile Adventure. Join us on March 8th for the official start of the race in Willow, Alaska, where we will travel the historic Iditarod Trail by snowmobile.
We’ll begin by getting you geared up and oriented to your snowmobile at our base before a short ride to the race start on Willow Lake, where you’ll get to see the dogs, racers, and festivities. We then head out on the historic Iditarod trail, where we travel 40 miles over frozen rivers and trails to the first checkpoint at Yentna Station. We’ll give you an insider’s perspective as teams come through the station and head out into the wilds of Alaska. While we are in Yentna, enjoy dinner, warm up by the fire, and after the race comes through, we’ll head back to Willow. This is a full day of riding adventure with views of the race, Denali, and an unforgettable day alongside Alaska’s most iconic event.
NOTE: Drivers must be 18 years or older, kids 12 and up may ride as a passenger. We do not provide drivers for our tours.
This tour starts in Willow where the crowds gather to countdown the teams as they start their treks across Alaska. We’ll then follow the dogs and the Iditarod trail itself down the Susitna and Yentna rivers to the first checkpoints, where we’ll enjoy a good meal while watching the mushers settle their teams in for a well deserved rest after the first leg of the race. It’s a scenic and exciting ride with views of Denali, dog teams and a life in the backcountry of Alaska you won’t want to miss. See the Iditarod up close and personal!
