Take an enchanting 1 hour dog sleigh ride through the woods and experience a bond between humans and dogs that is thousands of years old! Start this 2-hour tour by getting geared up for the cold weather. You’ll then head into the dog yard and play with the dogs while your experienced guide harnesses up the team. After a little instruction, you’ll take off for about an hour on a 6.5-mile trail, with a stop halfway to take photos. If the conditions are right, you’ll have a front row seat to some of the best Denali views in the area! You’ll take turns driving the sleigh (with an experienced musher on hand!). Then return back for some cocoa and cuddling with retired sleigh dogs.
Overseeing the operation are Rohn and Alyssa Buser. Rohn is a 3x Iditarod finisher and champion of multiple mid distances races. He is the son of Martin Buser, who has won the Iditarod 4 times and has the record for the most Iditarods (39 times), so Rohn literally grew up riding sleighs!
The dogs of Susuitna Sleigh Dog Adventures are more than working dogs, they are our family. We love sharing their passion with others and hope you leave our home filled with as much admiration and respect for these amazing animals as we are.
