Planning a trip to McCarthy/Kennicott, Alaska? Elevate your adventure by securing a sled dog excursion with Waylon's Way Dog Sledding. Our engaging summer tours last around 2 hours and provide an in-depth look into the rich history of sled dog mushing and its significance in Alaskan culture.
Your experience begins at our summer dog yard in McCarthy. Upon arrival, you'll meet our enthusiastic sled dogs and their dedicated mushers!
Part of this immersive experience includes hands-on activities where you'll interact closely with the sled dogs. You'll learn to harness and hook up the team before embarking on a thrilling 15-20 minute ride as the dogs pull our wheeled vehicle.
As your adventure concludes, you’ll have the chance to give the dogs a treat and return them to their homes. Leave our dog yard filled with memories of a truly unique Alaskan experience.
Want to experience Alaskan sled dogs without committing to a full 2+ hour adventure? Our basic kennel tour provides a genuine glimpse into life in the dog yard. Spend up to an hour meeting our dogs, learning about their unique personalities, and seeing firsthand how we live and operate off-grid in a remote part of Alaska. Ask us questions about mushing, training, gear, and life in the bush. And if the timing lines up, you might even get to meet our puppies - the next generation of our incredible K9 athletes.
This is a relaxed, down-to-earth experience that we can tailor to your interests. Book your kennel tour today!
