The Top 5 Dog Sledding Tours in Skagway

Dog sledding is an excellent way to combine an adrenaline-inducing experience with the incredible scenery in this part of Alaska. Join a Skagway dog sledding tour and you’ll witness the special relationship between man and dog as you hurtle across snow or winding trails on a ride you’ll never forget! Choose whether to combine a dog sled adventure with another fun activity or to focus solely on those hardworking huskies. Whichever tour you choose, we’re sure you’ll have the time of your life!

During the Skagway Sled Dog and Musher’s Camp tour, you’ll visit an authentic mushing camp, where huskies train each summer ahead of winter races like the famous Iditarod Trail. Before your dog sled experience, enjoy a tour of Skagway, learning about its historic downtown, before driving a scenic route to the musher’s camp. Here you’ll meet husky puppies - so have cameras at the ready! - before climbing aboard your summer sled for a thrilling ride through the winding trails of the Tongass National Forest. 

If you’d like to customize your dog sledding tour, then the Private Emerald Lake & Dogsled Tour is one to consider. You’re in charge as you board your private vehicle, so pick your favorite stops along the White Pass Route. Your expert local guide can advise on the best scenic locations, including the unbelievable green-blue waters of Emerald Lake. There are endless viewpoints to choose from, overlooking sky-high snow-powdered peaks, cascading waterfalls, and forests of spruce and hemlock. When you combine the incredible landscapes with your exciting dog sled adventure - hopping on a wheeled sled for a mile-long trip through the heart of the rainforest - you’ll have one amazing day lined up!
