ABOUT THIS TOUR
Experience the thrill of Alaska’s official state sport on an authentic dog sled ride with a top-ten Iditarod team! A professional dog musher will be your guide.
The tour takes place at the home of Iditarod musher Matthew Failor in Willow, Alaska, just 90 minutes north of Anchorage. Learn about mushing and meet the team before heading out on private trails with Denali views.
These are the same trails that Failor trains on for the Iditarod, Alaska’s famous thousand-mile race. All of the dogs in your team have either run the race or are actively training to run the Iditarod one day!
