Ride a mile-long forest trail with Alaskan huskies, explore Dyea by Unimog, and meet the puppies at Skagway's Musher's Camp.

About this tour

Meet a team of spirited Alaskan huskies and experience the traditions of mushing on this Skagway dog sled ride at Musher's Camp. The 3.5-hour outing pairs a mile-long trail ride with mountain scenery, kennel stories, and time with playful puppies.

Start with a historic tour through downtown Skagway before traveling toward Dyea. A specialized Unimog carries you up a rugged mountain road, past glacial streams and waterfalls, to meet the dogs and their musher. Then settle onto a custom wheeled sled as a team of huskies pulls you along a forest trail. After the ride, hear about sled dog care and mushing, and cuddle the puppies as they play and socialize.

The adventure also visits an overlook above the Dyea tidal flats, where the surrounding landscape may reveal local wildlife. Round-trip transportation is provided, and the group is limited to 24 travelers. Wear warm, comfortable clothes and bring water. Book your Skagway dog sled ride to share a memorable trail experience with the dogs and the people who care for them.
