    Such a lovely tour with Courtney and some of her wonderful dogs, including Puck who is a relative of some of the national park dogs and is rightfully a bit of a celebrity (and a major fluffy rambunctious boy). Courtney has plenty of treats for you to share with her well-trained and perfectly spoiled mushing dogs who are all full of personality and love for the life they live. Not only informative and a great little hike, but a peek into mushing and Alaska living. We picked some of the native berries and chatted about the effort that goes into raising these wonderful dogs and living here year-round. Absolutely recommend anyone take this tour; dog lovers, Alaska enthusiasts, and other curious naturalists too.

    Great Experience

    Judy_K, May 2026
    Court and the Moon dogs were so much fun! We enjoyed hearing and seeing interesting things about the land. The dogs were also sweet and so well loved. Loved walking with them and playing with them. It’s a true organic thing to do. Loved it!!!

    Hi Judy! We are thrilled to hear you enjoyed meeting the Moon Dogs and taking a walk on the tundra with us. Thank you for taking time to leave us a review. We value your feedback! - Court, Brian and the Moon Dogs

    If I could give this tour...

    If I could give this tour 10 stars instead of 5 stars, I absolutely would! It was the highlight of our entire Alaska trip. Courtney is an enthusiastic guide and a wealth of information, sharing fascinating insights into Denali's flora and fauna. Her family of friendly dogs loved every bit of attention, and Atlas especially completely won us over. His joyful antics and great personality make him the ultimate star of the pack. If you want a relaxed, personal and ethical experience where the dogs can freely roam (rather than a tourist-heavy, competitive racing track), then this is absolutely the tour to book. Highly recommend!

    Hi Nihal and family! We loved hosting you on yesterday's walk with the Moon Dogs. It was so fun sharing our way of interior life, hearing stories from all of you and learning a little bit about the land along the way. Atlas is a special boy and we are so grateful he can join us despite his lack of eye sight. He is inspiring to say the least! Happy trails and wagging tails! - Court, Brian and the Moon Dogs

    Court and the dogs gave us such an amazing unique experience! We got to meet many of the rescues and enjoy the weather. We learned so much about sled dogs and even the ecosystem. It’s hard to pick our favorite pup but we definitely loved Atlas! We would definitely recommend this if you love dogs and want a fun experience!

    Court was our local guide along with her family of moon dogs. We enjoyed her knowledge of the land and ecosystem in which they live. The tour was well communicated and we shared stories along the way. The dogs were very friendly and loved having us around.

    Thanks Scott and Andrea for taking the time to add our tundra walk to your Denali itinerary! It was a pleasure hosting the two of you and kicking off the start of our tundra tour season. We hope to get you out mushing one day in the future! - Court, Brian and the Moon Dogs

    Outstanding use of time and money.

    Beautiful tundra walk with dogs

    Leanne_E, Sep 2024
    Loved walking across the tundra with the dogs and learning about the area and the dogs. Beautiful dogs as working dogs and pets. Missing my dog so this was a doggy fix.

    Get a glimpse into the way of life of Alaskans

    Amanda_K, Jul 2024
    Court was and her team of sled dogs were amazing! She was incredibly knowledgeable about the local flora, fauna and how the local Alaskans live in such a harsh terrain. We will definitely be back in the winter for an adventure! Gor anyone lucky enough to head out with Court or her husband please give Basil, Stella, Darcy, Atlas and Kiviuq extra pets from my husband and I!

    Response from Host, Sep 2024
