Overview

While you should definitely go dogsledding at least once when in Alaska, go deeper with a look at the lives of sled dogs on this uncommon tour. Tour a truly off-grid musher's homestead (no running water, no utilities) and see how Alaskans survived in this harsh climate for eons—and how they depended on their dogs. Each dog has their own personality and needs, and, yes, they’ll be ready for photos…and cuddles!

Tour a truly off-grid cabin and learn Alaskan ways of survival
See how Alaskans sustainably grow and gather their own food
Meet the pups, learning about their personalities, chores, and daily lives
A small group means more one-on-one time with the dogs

Iris is a wonderful...

Iris is a wonderful Homestead storyteller with an amazing life story and hands on view of what it’s like to live off the grid. we had a good fortune of seeing a moose walk through the yard and running around the dog pen while we were there. Quite an experience!

Good visit!

One on one, very personal so we got to ask lots of questions; interacting with the dogs was awesome; the slide show to see her sledding experience, etc. and learning about the off grid lifestyle!
