We took the 1 hour tour in mid March. The tour covers 8 miles on the 200 acre property of A Taste of Alaska Lodge. My husband and I were seated in the sled with the guide behind us. We learned a lot about the dogs during our tour and our guide, Adele, was excellent. Paws for Adventure also has... More

We had a GREAT time, the dogs were friendly, the ride was beautiful and our guide John was very nice and he answered all of our question(and we had a lot of them). We cannot stop talking about what a great time we had. You cannot spend a more perfect afternoon than dog mushing with Paws for Adventure! More

My husband and I went to one of Leslie's dog sled school days, and it was so much fun. Leslie was warm, kind and a wealth of knowledge and there was simply nothing like the feeling of skimming over the snowy trails driving your own dog sled team. I wouldn't hesitate to recommend a trip to Paws for Adventure, whether... More

Paws for Adventure offers an excellent "hands on" introduction to dogsledding. I have driven dog teams in the lower 48 states, but Leslie and her crew of guides at Paws have a great teaching progression for driving dog teams. First riding, then driving with an instructor and finally taking your own team out through the Alaskan wilderness! In addition to... More
