Private Fall Foliage Mushing Cart Ride in Fairbanks
Overview
Inclusions
- Coffee and/or Tea - Hot Cocoa
What to expect
Join us for the start of our mushing season and experience the excitement as the dogs rejoice to be back in harness again after a summer long mushing hiatus. Mush on a comfortable side-by-side as the team splashes through puddles and yips with pleasure.
Fall in Alaska encompasses 3 months of the year, when temps start to drop and the scenery changes vastly from one day to the next. Foliage is short lived and only lasts for a couple of weeks. Once the leaves drop, we start going through what we call 'freeze-up' when the puddles, ponds, sloughs and rivers start to glass over. It is a very important time of year, as many of the winter trails utilize these bodies of water and if snow comes too early, it takes longer for these to freeze over. In the later part of the fall season, snow will slowly accumulate in light dustings. We typically do not have enough snow to convert from a SxS to a sled until December 1st, as we need to wait until we have at least 3'' of base to safely run a sled.
What to expect:
September: Warm during the day, green leaves changing into fall colors
October: Cold days, leaves dropping from trees, snow accumulation
November: Winter-like conditions

Stopped along the way for Hot Cider and hot chocolate. Dogs were very friendly and enjoyed interacting with them. There is a Mongolian made Yurt at the site — very interesting to see and cozy to warm up in. An experience not to miss! Thank you Chase!My wife and I were celebrating our 8yr anniversary.

My wife and I were celebrating our 8yr anniversary. So we decided to do a mushing cart experience. Laura (Lauren) did an amazing job! She made us feel like we were part of her family. Her pups were so well behaved and she knew exactly which one would act up during the ride. Having her communicate with her team was so cool to watch. My wife and I enjoyed every bit of it. Titan was my favorite. He and I bonded as soon as I got to the place. I would highly recommend this experience to anyone. Make sure to bundle up and wear face mask and glasses.Our guide Laura was awesome, she was great and her love for her dogs was amazing. It made my heart happy to see someone who loves her fur babies as much as she does. I would highly recommend these folks. it was the most fun I had the whole week I was in Alaska.

UTV through the beautiful fall foliage. Chase was a VERY knowledgeable tour guide with a great sense of humor, friendly demeanor, and shared his fascinating dog sled stories.

The snow made it feel like it was a real dog "sled" ride. The dogs seemed to love running in the snow. Chase was a great guide. Would highly recommend.
