Description
Fresh walrus ivory carving by Daniel Apassingok (Saint Lawrence Island Yupik). Hand carved from locally, subsistance harvested walrus. Daniel learned to carve from the elders who in turn learned from generations of elders passing the art down. Each piece is carved from a tusk that is cured for several weeks and is unique in color and pattern. Fresh ivory is legal for use by all Alaska Native artisans.

See Alaska like never before! Standard tour is an hour long ride, single passenger (along with small children if present) with a guide driving the team. Enjoy views of the Talkeetna and Alaskan Range while traveling in a sled behind 8 adorable Alaskan huskies. We do switch-outs with passengers (for groups with more than 1 passenger) along the trail and will provide a warm fire and snacks while your friends wait their turn to ride. Spectators will get to see their group and the dogs pass by while they wait; there's not much standing around as the ride with the team will be around 30 minutes for each guest. For any additional questions about your booking, please get in touch! Reviews from recent guests: "Fantastic ride! Heather was incredibly accommodating especially given the last minute nature of our trip. The dogs were more meticulously cared for that than i could have imagined and Heathers's extensive experience and professionalism is indubitable and top notch. Thanks again and would recommend any day!" --Matthew
