Doggone Deal!
Land directly on a glacier and hit the snow for the dog-sledding adventure of a lifetime -- at an unbelievable discount!
Take off by helicopter to great heights, crossing the magnificent Lake George where icebergs the size of houses break off the face of Colony Glacier. You'll land directly on the glacier ice, right in the middle of some of the most dramatic mountain scenery in Alaska. Here you join a real Iditarod musher and his dog team for an exiting ride in a dogsled. Meet the new puppies, listen to stories from the trail, get an introduction about running sled dogs and be part of the action as they hook up a dog team. Plenty of opportunities to take pictures from the sled to record your unforgettable experience. Return inspired by their incredible achievements and the dog's unique relationship with their musher. You'll even stand on the runners and control the sled, an experience shared by just a handful of people!

Itinerary/Details
Day 1: Anchorage / Knik River Lodge
Travel to the very end of the Knik River Road, an extension of the Old Glenn Highway. This area is a well kept secret: even most Alaskans don’t know the existence of this road, extending 11 miles into the mountains. Your stay at Knik River Lodge is remote enough to be considered true wilderness, yet just one hour from Anchorage. Perfectly situated for exploring. You'll stay in a private cabin overlooking the Knik River Valley with dinner included this evening.
Day 2: Knik River Lodge
After your included breakfast, embark on an exciting Helicopter Glacier Dog Sled Tour today. After crossing the magnificent Lake George where icebergs the size of houses break off the face of Colony Glacier your helicopter will land on a glacier, right in the middle of some of the most dramatic mountain scenery in Alaska. Here you join a real Iditarod musher and his dog team for an exiting ride in a dogsled. Meet the new puppies, listen to stories from the trail, get an introduction about running sled dogs and be part of the action as they hook up a dog team. Enjoy your sled dog ride with plenty of opportunities to take pictures from this unforgettable experience and come back inspired by their incredible achievements and their unique relationship with their musher. You get to stand on the runners and control the sled, an experience shared by just a handful of people.
When you return from your glacier dog-sledding adventure the lodge chef will have a delicious lunch prepared for you. All food is made from scratch using mostly organic, local ingredients.
