Getting started
Arrive at the private Ester Base Camp at 5575 Old Ridge Trail, Fairbanks, at least 45 minutes before your scheduled start time. After check-in, your expert musher will greet you and provide a full safety briefing and trail orientation. You’ll receive professional pre-run mushing instruction before meeting your sled dog team and preparing for your adventure.
What to expect
Dog mushing on historic mail routes
This experience takes you along century-old trails once used to deliver mail between Nenana, Ester, and Fairbanks, offering a direct connection to Alaska’s mushing heritage.
Features
• Ride as a passenger in a small group, guided by an expert musher who shares stories and insights about the history and culture of dog mushing in Interior Alaska.
• Enjoy a one-hour guided dog sled experience through groomed Ester backcountry trails, surrounded by the quiet of the boreal forest and the sound of paws on packed snow.
• Before and after your run, spend hands-on time with the dog team, learning about their training and care while interacting with these well-socialized, trail-bred sled dogs.
After your sled ride, you’ll have additional time to thank your musher and interact with the dogs before departing from Base Camp. Cold weather gear, hand and toe warmers, transportation to or from Base Camp, and gratuity are not included, so plan accordingly for your comfort and convenience.
