Summer Sled Dog Ride & Kennel Tour

Experience the Thrill of Summer Sled Dog Rides! Join us at Wildthingz Dog Mushing for an exhilarating summer sled dog ride adventure! From May to September, near the breathtaking Denali National Park in Alaska, we offer an intimate look into the world of dog mushing. Located in Cantwell, nestled higher in the mountains from the Denali Park Entrance, our camp provides a window into our simple, off-grid lifestyle. Surrounded by our cherished 35 Alaskan huskies, you'll witness the process of harnessing a dog team to a multi-passenger ATV. Be swept away by the incredible strength of our dogs, all while learning about them from Richie Beattie, Iditarod '19 Rookie of the Year and three-time Yukon Quest finisher. Following your ride, revel in the chance to meet our furry friends. Each of them adores a friendly pat, and depending on the puppies' age and availability, you might even enjoy some cuddles. Immerse yourself in a presentation that unveils the intricacies of racing and training sled dogs for long-distance races. Our tours are intentionally small, ensuring all your queries find ample time for answers. Our Summer Sled Dog Ride & Kennel Tour grants visitors an immersive look into the life of a dog musher. Guided by Richie, guests will be introduced to harnessing a dog team and enjoy a ride in a multi-passenger side-by-side vehicle. Afterward, get up close and personal with our beloved dogs. A guided walk-through of our off-grid summer camp and dog yard offers a deeper understanding of our way of life. Finally, gather in our visitor tent for a presentation about real dog sledding and racing during the winter, with a focus on the Yukon Quest and Iditarod 1000-mile races, dog care, and any other questions guests may have about dog mushing
