Itinerary

Join us for the start of our mushing season and experience the excitement as the dogs rejoice to be back in harness again after a summer long mushing hiatus. Mush on a comfortable side-by-side as the team splashes through puddles and yips with pleasure. Fall in Alaska encompasses 3 months of the year, when temps start to drop and the scenery changes vastly from one day to the next. Foliage is short lived and only lasts for a couple of weeks. Once the leaves drop, we start going through what we call 'freeze-up' when the puddles, ponds, sloughs and rivers start to glass over. It is a very important time of year, as many of the winter trails utilize these bodies of water and if snow comes too early, it takes longer for these to freeze over. In the later part of the fall season, snow will slowly accumulate in light dustings. We typically do not have enough snow to convert from a SxS to a sled until December 1st, as we need to wait until we have at least 3'' of base to safely run a sled. What to expect: September: Warm during the day, green leaves changing into fall colors October: Cold days, leaves dropping from trees, snow accumulation November: Winter-like conditions
