Your Alaskan mushing adventure ~
Dan and Jodi have been mushing for almost two decades. They have both completed the Yukon Quest and the Iditarod. As veterans of the major 1000 races they bring that knowledge and love of mushing to your trip with Dew Claw. They are available for beginners' rides; as well as longer trips for the more adventurous or experienced. Dan has built the custom sleds we will use for your adventure. Guests can relax and ride in the sled, or take a try at handling their own sled behind the main team. With a variety of trail options, we have the ability to plan custom adventures*.
You will be traveling with a team of friendly well trained long distance sled dogs. They are highly energetic working dogs, but are also well socialized dogs who enjoy attention as much as they enjoy running. There is always time on your trip for giving attention to and taking photos with the dogs.
*Due to our training/race goals we have limited availability, so please contact us well in advance.
