In Two Rivers, where sled dogs outnumber people, immerse yourself in husky happiness during a Private Summer Sled Dog Experience. Meet the exceptionally athletic and endearingly goofy huskies from local dog teams. Learn from passionate mushers not about their hobby, but their lifestyle. Try on mushing gear that allows humans and dogs to thrive at -40F winter temperatures. Be hands-on with the hooking up and harnessing of the team, then join the team for a short 45-second ride (to ensure dogs don't overheat, the teams go for a short run). This tour is perfect for dog lovers who want to spend lots of time with the huskies and learn about the mushing lifestyle from a local musher and their team.

Even though I have had dogs all my life, I had never experienced how sled dogs are trained and raised. I was allowed to help harness the dogs to prepare them for a ride around the area. The dogs were happy to go for a run and loved all the extra attention that they get from visitors. A must do for any kind of animal lover.
This dog sled experience was excellent. Laura was informative and highly engaging. We learned so much about Alaskan Huskies and had plenty of time to interact with the dogs. I highly recommend this experience!
This was a great, informative experience. Loved playing with the dogs and learning about their lives. Laura was a great guide!
