This was our group of 7’s( 4 adults, 3 kids) favorite day of our vacation! We loved how the ride from the hotel took our group individually up into the mountains which we wouldn’t have experienced otherwise. It was absolutely gorgeous. The sled ride was a blast, and it was fun to learn about the races & stories straight from the Musher himself. The puppies were an absolute hit of course. This was such an authentic & intimate behind the scenes tour. We loved it! Thank you to Peter & Hunter for your hospitality!

My family of four had an amazing time on our sled dog adventure. Peter and Hunter were fantastic hosts and truly love their dogs and their sport. We had a fantastic weather day and an amazing overall experience highlighted by getting to see and hold the newest addition to Hunter's sled dog family.

My boyfriend Corey and I did the dog sledding trip last week on Tuesday and it was the highlight of our entire trip. It was such a personal experience that allows you an inside look on what dog sledding is about. The amount of pure power and excitement the dogs have for their jobs is truly amazing to watch firsthand. Joe, Sarah, and Peter not only love these dogs endlessly, but they have a real authentic and raw connection with each and every one of them. Peter expressed that the word he loves for their connection with their dogs is empathy. To me, it was apparent within the first moment we meant Peters dog Anya, that this was true. Their job was not just to “take care” of these dogs or to simply train them to race. Their job is to understand and empathize with every quirk and individual personality trait of each dog. Thank you guys for giving us a quick look into a really awesome world.

We did this today and it was the highlight to our trip to Alaska. Peter was our guide. He has so many interesting stories to share and was wonderful. Ryan was our lead musher with his assistant Hunter and his fiancée Sarah. They were incredible. Ryan is the grandson of Joe Redington who created the Iditarod decades ago….it was absolutely amazing to ride with him and listen to his stories growing up as a musher and racer from birth. I was skeptical about this activity as a dog lover, thinking this had an element of cruelty for dogs but I am happy to be wrong. These dogs are bred into racing and they love it. They were so excited to be ready to run the course and they are so beautifully treated by the entire team. The way these dogs were treated was so great…the team just knew what they needed, provided breaks through the course, water bowls and gave us the opportunity to pet and appreciate these gorgeous animals. After an incredible ride through beautiful mountains, over a roaring brook and passing a stunningly pretty blue sea and a glacier known as Milk Glacier, we were led to a cabin where the history of the Iditarod was explained by Ryan. Beautiful photos, the opportunity to feel his sled, try on his coat and beaver fur gloves AND to play with a group of puppies that were 34 days old….the puppies: Waffle, Bacon, Eggs, Benedict, and Pancake were so fabulous. I would HIGHLY recommend this activity to EVERYONE. It rained while we did this experience and the weather did not deter from the wonder of this experience. I have such an appreciation now for this sport, the Redington team and am so glad to have Ryan, Hunter, Sarah and Peter give us such a wonderful memory!

Super awesome experience. From someone who wasn’t sure how exciting it would be, I was genuinely surprised how much fun I had. Peter was our guide and he was super knowledgeable, funny, and great to talk to. The dogs were so friendly and it was honor to meet Ryan, the grandson of the FOUNDER of the Iditarod! Peter and Ryan had competed multiple times so it was awesome talking to them about their experience. You can tell they love what they do.

Hunter, Alyssa, and Peter were GREAT! The overall experience for our group of 14 was THE BEST. The guides were full of so much knowledge and insight into mushing and the life of a musher. Truly a remarkable experience that all of us could have done for the whole day. Highly recommend!!
