Fall Cart Ride

Fall Cart Ride tours start the first week of September and continue until the snow flies (typically the first week of November, but sometimes later – it depends on snow).

Join the Paws crew for a dog cart ride led by your musher/guide on our 6-place ATVs pulled by our Alaskan Huskies. Tour is informational, interactive and hands-on!

This tour offers plenty of time for photos and meeting and greeting the sled dogs in their home kennel as well as talking to the musher & guides about sled dog life and training. Tour usually lasts 30 min. The actual Cart Ride length is variable due to weather (temperature) and seasonal training for sled dogs.

ATVs are the standard training vehicles for early season training (before we get sufficient snowfall to use the sled). Once we have enough snow and trails are safe, we’ll switch to sleds for our rides (see our short and 1 hour ride options). The exact date of our switch from ATV to sleds depends on the weather – sometimes the first week of November, sometimes closer to the end of November or early December. The use of motorized ATVs vs. non-motorized Carts allow us to take you on our more rugged terrain and see awesome views of the Alaska Range!

Hands On
Meet and greet all the canine athletes in the kennel. Wear clothes you don’t mind getting ‘doggy’ if you plan to interact with the sled dogs.
Educational and Informative
Learn all about raising Alaskan Huskies, a bit of the history of dog mushing, and what it takes to race a team of these fine athletes and hear stories of the trail from your musher.
Arrival
Please arrive approximately 15 minutes before your tour to get checked in and properly dressed for the tour.
What to wear
Depending on our Fall weather and temperatures, you will need a warm coat and/or rain jacket and rain pants, a hat and neck gaiter, gloves, hiking boots or other close-toed shoes that you don’t mind getting a bit muddy. If temperatures are below freezing, we will have arctic gear to borrow.
Maximum 10 people per tour

If your party is bigger than 10 people, please book the next timeslot also. You may all come at one time, but the 2 carts hold 10 people total (5 people in each).

Itinerary

1. Meet our Dogs

Meet the friendliest dogs in Alaska! Meet and greet all the canine athletes in the kennel. Wear clothes you don’t mind getting ‘doggy’ if you plan to interact with the sled dogs.

*We like to raise our pups in summer when temps are more favorable for youngsters and we have more time for socialization; we are not likely to have pups in Winter months, but often have a litter of own or a visiting litter from a friend’s kennel in Summer.

2. Mushing Education

This is a non-scripted, hands-on, personal tour to introduce you to the life of sled dogs and their owners or handlers. We will address questions, offer information and insight about owning sled dogs, their life, health, and unique personalities as well as introduce you to training methods and schedules we employ to foster our success as a recreational and tour kennel.
