What to Expect in the Summer/Fall

From the moment you arrive, you’ll be greeted by a yard full of excited, happy dogs. You’ll get to know your guide and meet our champion dog team. Our dogs are very friendly and love to give kisses!

We’ll let a group loose and take off on a nature walk to our hand-carved, wooden pavilion with Denali views. Experience the thrill of walking among a pack of free-roaming huskies on our private trails!

Step up onto the runners of our Iditarod race sled during a hands-on, show & tell-style presentation of the gear we use to train in the wintertime.

Slip on this year's Iditarod race bib and into the shoes of an Alaskan musher. All of our guides are professional mushers and have race experience. We love to share our personal tales from the trails and will happily answer all of your questions!

We’ll conclude the tour in our indoor gift shop, where you’ll have a chance to see more of our racing memorabilia and check out our race team swag! We’ll also have some complimentary cookies and water for you to refuel before your next adventure!

What to Expect in the Winter/Spring

Where we’re located

We live on-site with our dogs in beautiful Willow, Alaska! We are 70 miles north of Anchorage, about a 1.5-hour scenic drive on main, highway roads. If you are headed to/from Denali or Talkeetna, we are on your way!

Our home sits at the base of Hatcher Pass, which connects our small town with Palmer. In the summertime, our guests can drive the Pass to get between these two destinations and combine activities for a day trip to the Mat-Su Valley!

How to Dress for Success (Summer/Fall)

We have a saying in Alaska, that if you don’t like the weather, just wait 15 minutes! That can be especially true in the summertime! We recommend dressing in layers, and having a rain jacket on-hand, in the event of unexpected showers. We also advise wearing sunscreen, closed-toed shoes and clothes you don’t mind getting dirty!

How to Dress for Success (Winter/Spring)

We provide custom-made winter parkas for all of our guests to use during their visit! In addition, we recommend the following layers:

• Synthetic or wool long underwear
• Snow pants
• Snow boots
• Synthetic or wool socks
• Neck gaiter or scarf
• Winter hat and gloves

Getting to Our Place

Most of our guests find renting a car or using a ride sharing app such as Uber/Lyft to be the most economic options. A shuttle service is available from Anchorage for $125 per hour.
