New Iditarod Trips!

We've got new Iditarod Trips planned and open for booking! Here is the information for these new trips:

Iditarod Race tours

Our tours of the 'Last Great Race' include a 4 day 3 nights 'starter’s tour'.
-You would be at the ceremonial start in Anchorage, and we encourage our guest to become 'volunteers' and help with the behind the scenes of the race, to truly make this the trip of a lifetime! See the start of the race, ride the trail on a snow machine, fly-out on a ski equipped bush plane to check points to watch the racers, learn about the racers and the dogs, try your hand and mush a real team for yourself! These are just a few of the highlights of the trip. This tour is 4 days and begins and ends in Anchorage. Available the first Saturday of each March at $3,760.00 per person.


The adventure race tour that lasts 10 to 12 days (depending on time it takes to finish).Same as start, but continue on staying at inns and wilderness lodges , the best Alaska has to offer!
Helping out at check points, touring villages, keeping pace with the racers, stopping along the way at the checkpoints. You will see a side of Alaska seldom seen. Tour Mt. McKinley, mush a dog team, drive a snow machine, soak in saunas and hot tubs and enjoy the Northern Lights, learn about the winter subsistence lifestyle of remote Alaskans, watch as the winners cross the finish line in Nome, have fresh ‘off the boat' King Crab, see some of the villages around Nome and talk to the elders and see the crafts and native artwork they are famous for (even purchase some to take home!) and then fly back to Anchorage on Alaska Airlines to finish your trip! Plus many, many more things as well!
This tour is 12 days/12 nights beginning in Anchorage.
Available starting the first Saturday of each March, for the start of the Iditarod race!
$9,350.00 per person.

The winner's circle tour is just that. (space dependent on other tours)
Fly Alaska Airlines to Nome for this 3 day tour and meet us there, for the finish of the race, fly-out to check points to see the progress of the musher’s, fly to surrounding villages and drive a snow machine, mush a team, eat fresh King Crab, etc.
This tour is 3 days/2nights beginning in Anchorage.
Available mid – March, at $3,359.00 per person.

New Videos!

We've recently added some new videos to the website including these 3, to give people a sense of where we go and the things we see on our adventures. These 3 movies were filmed last fall around the state, including a trip to the western arctic herd of caribou to see their annual migration northwest of Kotzebue towards the Seward Penninsula. There's nothing like the sight of tens of thousands of caribou travelling in one direction for as far as the eye can see, you really have to travel their corridor in an airplane to appreciate the amazing number of animals making the migration.

Moose in the Yard!

Well, it seems when I get some free time to get a few things done around the house, the animals miss us and then come looking for us!

We just pulled up from an errand, and who's there to greet us? A Mother and her twin babies!

They really do a great job on the hedges, but I wish they would concentrate on the lawn just a little more.......so we don't have to!

The Mom also did a fine job on the hanging basket in the background, too....as well as the trees......and flowers....and....

Maybe this whole Moose as a gardener thing isn't such a great idea after all. Besides, the hanging basket cost almost as much as any real work that they have done!

Kelli sure likes to see them around though.

We are going to go Salmon fishing this afternoon, and Bear viewing for the next few days.

We will post these trips as soon as we can.

Keep watching for all the great stuff coming!
