Did you know that dog sledding is Alaska’s official state sport? Try dog sledding for yourself  with Iditarod champion racing dogs and your own sled, through the snowy forests of Talkeetna, Alaska! Meet genuine dog mushers and trainers, tour the kennel, and mush your own team of dogs on a 30-45 minute ride. Guided transportation from Anchorage with our local Salmon Berry guides is included, along with lunch at a local eatery in Talkeetna.

Dog Sledding is Alaska’s official state sport, and Salmon Berry Tours offers our most popular Arctic activity as a unique and unforgettable mushing school experience!

Travel north to the mountain town of Talkeetna. En route we will enjoy lunch at a local eatery and then arrive at Dallas Seavey’s kennel to learn about the sport of dog mushing. Today, not only will you experience Alaska’s official state sport, but this popular activity is a unique and unforgettable “mushing school” experience! Sit back and relax as Salmon Berry Tours navigates the snowy winter roads, allowing you to take in the pristine scenery while your local driver-guide narrates the drive with history, fun facts, and personal stories from life in the subarctic. Weather permitting, our drive will offer views of Denali, the tallest peak in North America.

Once in Talkeetna, we embark on your training run at the homestead of Dallas Seavey. Dallas is a six-time Iditarod champion, top three finisher in Norway’s 2018 Finnmarksløpet, the youngest Yukon Quest first-place champion, and former star of National Geographic Channel’s Ultimate Survival Alaska! Here, you will go from being a dog sled enthusiast to an experienced musher. Meet the professional Iditarod mushers/handlers and genuine Iditarod champion Alaskan huskies. Bond with your dog team while you learn about the musher lifestyle and lingo. With your newfound knowledge and confidence, you will be ready to mush the trails!

Every set of two guests will share a traditional sled and dog team of Alaskan huskies for the 10-kilometer mini-expedition! There will be a lead musher guiding and a tail musher following for quality, safety, and comfort during your ride through the private, birch tree-lined trails. For the first half of your ride, you will guide your four-legged team through a snow-capped boreal forest with complete winter silence except for the occasional sound of excited barking, paws pounding, and the sled’s runners gliding across the snow. Take a break for photo opportunities with your dog team as they bask in the sun, and to trade places from driving in a standing position to riding in the seated sled position. Throughout your ride, you will encounter a replica of an official Iditarod checkpoint and learn about “The Last Great Race on Earth” until you cross the burled arch “finish line” into the kennel. Complete your dogsledding experience at the kennel with a tour of the homestead. Alaskan Huskies are powerful athletes that are known for their affectionate, loyal, playful personalities — and the puppies are no different. Try to keep up with the lively future Iditarod racing young huskies: Make sure to take photos with the future Iditarod Champions before they’re famous!

• Our guest had booked the vacation of a lifetime and the ultimate Alaska package. She had to cancel the trip a week before it began due to unfortunate circumstances.
• She later told us that within ten minutes of phone time her claim was processed in full. She was very pleased with TravelSafe Insurance’s immediate and empathetic response. Getting a refund for her trip was the last thing she wanted to think about, and TravelSafe Insurance took care of her needs and concerns immediately.

Add to My Trip

This classic Alaskan experience begins with a quick van ride to the sled dog kennel from downtown Talkeetna . Along the way, the driver talks a bit about the history of Talkeetna and dog sled racing. Guests are dropped off at the kennel's log cabin and met by Jerry Sousa, a Top 20 Iditarod musher, for a demonstration of sled harnessing and mushing preparation.

With the command, the dogs are off.

Soon it's off to everyone's favorite part of the tour: a five-mile training run. One by one the excited pups are taken from their houses in the kennel yard and harnessed up. The dogs pull a summer "sled," a motorized vehicle on wheels used to build strength and stamina, but also to train them to pull at slower speeds necessary on the 1,000-mile Iditarod race. Guests climb into the vehicle, the musher gives the command, and the dogs are off.

The rocky trail winds through lush green forest. For as boisterous as the dogs were before, they're quiet and focused now. It makes for a surprisingly serene ride. Halfway through the run, the team turns into a creek bed for a cooling dip, then continues in a big loop back to the kennel yard. Guests have time to meet the dogs and learn about their care, feeding, and winter training program before boarding the van back to Talkeetna.

The Talkeetna Dog Sled Kennel Tour starts in downtown Talkeetna.

What to Bring

Most of this tour is conducted outside, so bring a rain jacket as needed and wear comfortable close-toed walking shoes.

Excursion Overview

Dog sledding through talkeetna's winter wonderland.

The Anchorage Winter Dog Sledding Tour is an incredible opportunity to learn about Alaska's beloved state sport. Your journey will start with stress-free transportation from Anchorage to Talkeetna, as your expert local guide drives past stunning scenic vistas. Weather permitting, you'll even be able to see Denali, the tallest peak in North America. You'll arrive in Talkeetna at the homestead of Dallas Seavey, a SIX-time Iditarod Champion, top three finisher in Norway's 2018 Finnmarkslopet, youngest Yukon Quest first place Champion, and former star of National Geographic Channel's Ultimate Survival Alaska. There's no better location to learn about the musher lifestyle and lingo while you bond with your team of pups. Groups of two guests will share sleds for the mushing portion of this tour. You and your team of Alaskan Huskies will travel 10 km/6 miles through our private, birch-lined trails. Enjoy the complete winter silence, aside from the dogs' excited barks and pounding paws. Teams will stop to alternate mushing positions halfway through so everyone gets to experience both "lead" and "tail" mushing. You'll also have the perfect photo opportunity with the huskies as they bask in the sun, before finishing your ride and crossing the burled arch Finish Line.

TALKEETNA FLOWER KENNEL AND HOMESTEAD TOURS

Bookings are now open for the 2024 season

Visit the Flower Homestead , a musher’s homestead tucked away just south of Talkeetna in the Boreal forest of Alaska.

Here we live a sustainable life together with the  Flower Kennel Sled dogs.  The kennel is unique in that the sled dogs are not only part of the family, but an integral part of our  real authentic off-grid Alaskan lifestyle. The dogs help with hauling water from our spring in winter and haul our building material and firewood we harvest from our homestead to keep warm and cozy during the cold Alaska winters.

W e grow, harvest and gather most of our own food and live a self-reliant lifestyle as much as possible. 

We are committed to our dogs and the Flower Kennel is their forever home. Our tours are an exclusive opportunity to see how and why we live in the far North. We are a small locally owned operation and our tours are casual and personal.

Welcome to our home.
