About this tour
Trade the hum of an engine for the patter of paws on a summer dog sledding adventure in Willow, Alaska. Settle into a dog-powered cart built for two and follow private training trails through spruce and birch forest, the same routes used to prepare for Iditarod in winter.
After the ride, meet the champion dogs as they run and mingle with guests. Your visit also includes a kennel tour and a nature walk to a hand-built wooden pavilion with a view of Denali. There, see winter gear and a race sled up close during an interactive demonstration, with plenty of time to ask questions. Snacks, water, loaner rain gear, and rain boots are provided.
This 90-minute Willow dog sledding adventure offers a personal look at the dogs, trails, and traditions behind mushing. Come ready for fresh air, forest scenery, and a warm welcome from the kennel team.

How this score is calculated
This score is based on one provider. Viator rates it 5.00 from 386 reviews. We place that rating among all Viator ratings and weight it by its review count. If the tour is found on another provider later, both ratings are combined.
How the score works and rating distribution in Anchorage
- Each provider rating is turned into a percentile: the share of that provider's ratings it beats, weighted by review counts.
- Listings on different providers are combined in proportion to their review counts.
- Tours with few reviews are pulled toward the average until more reviews come in, so a handful of perfect reviews can't top the list.
- The result is shown from 0 to 10: this tour scores 9.6. Top 1% in Anchorage means it ranks in the top 1% of tours in Anchorage by this score.
