Description

Raven and his two men were fishing in a canoe. They had traveled further out in the water than they had ever gone before. Soon they were engulfed by a dense fog. The fog was so dense that the trio lost their balance and did not know where they were. Suddenly, on the bow of the canoe appeared a beautiful woman." I will show you the way to my village and to safety," she said. Of course, Raven and the men followed her.  After a short time, Raven fell in love with Fog Woman, and they were married. They were very happy until a food shortage befell the village. Everyone was short of food except Fog Woman, who always had plenty of salmon in her cooking pot. Being a very curious creature, Raven follows Fog Woman to the creek. There he witnesses her swirl her fingers in the water and our jump beautiful salmon. He asks how she makes this happen, but she won't tell him. Raven grumbles and returns to the village. Again, Raven asks how she produces the salmon. She refused to tell him. This time Raven says, "If you won't tell me, then be gone!" Like this, she turns into Fog and rolls out to sea calling, "I will come to you only as Fog, but I will return salmon to the streams each year so you and the village will have plenty of food." This is how we get Salmon and Fog today. 

Carved from yellow cedar in Ketchikan, Alaska by Alaska Black Diamond this totem is authentic; a great symbol of Alaska Northwest Coast native tradition.

Dallas Seavey Talkeetna Winter Dog Sledding - Anchorage Departure

Dog Sledding is Alaska’s official state sport, and Salmon Berry Tours offers our most popular Arctic activity as a unique and unforgettable mushing school experience! Your full-day adventure begins with stress-free transportation provided from Anchorage to Talkeetna! Sit back and relax as Salmon Berry Tours navigates the snowy winter roads, allowing you to take in the pristine scenery while your local Alaskan driver-guide narrates the drive with history, fun facts, and personal stories from life in the subarctic! Weather permitting, our drive will offer views of Mt. Denali, formerly known as Mt. McKinley, the tallest peak in North America. Once in Talkeetna, we embark on your training run at the homestead of Dallas Seavey. Dallas is a five-time Iditarod Champion, top three finishers in Norway’s 2018 Finnmarksløpet, youngest Yukon Quest first place Champion, and former star of National Geographic Channel’s Ultimate Survival Alaska! Here, you will go from being a dog sled enthusiast to an experienced musher! Meet the professional Iditarod mushers/handlers and genuine Iditarod champion Alaskan Huskies! Bond with your dog team while you learn about the musher lifestyle and lingo. With your newfound knowledge and confidence, you will be ready to mush the trails! Every two guests will share a traditional sled and dog team of Alaskan Huskies for the 10-kilometer mini expedition! There will be a lead musher guiding and a tail musher following for quality, safety, and comfort during your ride through the private, birch tree-lined trails. For the first half of your ride, you will guide your four-legged team through snow-capped boreal forest with complete winter silence except for the occasional sound of barking with excitement, paws pounding, and the sled’s runners gliding across the snow. Take a break for photo opportunities with your dog team as they bask in the sun and alternate from standing to riding in the seated sled position. Throughout your ride, you will encounter a replica of an official Iditarod checkpoint and learn about “The Last Great Race on Earth” until you cross the burled arch Finish Line into the kennel. Complete your dog sled experience toward the kennel for a continued tour of the homestead. Alaskan Huskies are powerful athletes that are known for their affectionate, loyal, playful personalities — and the puppies are no different! Try to keep up with the lively future Iditarod racing young huskies while feeding them treats! Make sure to take photos with the future Iditarod Champions before they’re famous! Your all-inclusive tour allows you to warm up with a hot beverage and a delicious lunch (provided), on Talkeetna’s famous Main Street. Complimentary snacks and water are available throughout the tour. Conclude the thrills and adventures of your tour with transportation back to your Anchorage or Talkeetna hotel! Special Notes: This tour is available in 3 ways.. 1) pick up and drop off in Anchorage 2) pick up in Anchorage and drop off in Talkeetna 3) pick up in Talkeetna and drop off in Anchorage.
