Every March, all of Alaska focuses on the famed Iditarod Trail Sled Dog Race. A 1000 mile journey on a trail stretching across the heart of Alaska. It’s a timeless journey made by dog teams through a wild land. This tour gets you into the heart of this action on a full day snowmobile adventure that follows the trail from the exciting start in Willow through the first two checkpoints of the race.
NOTE: Drivers must be 18 years or older, kids 6 and up may ride as a passenger. We do not provide drivers for our tours.
Led by a veteran Iditarod finisher, this tour covers not only the scenic and historic trail itself on top of the line snowmobiles, but you’ll also get an insight into the race only a dog musher can provide.
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!
This unique tour offers a 3 hour snowmobile ride, followed by lunch and an amazing view of the race.
