Dog mushing is a way of life in Alaska and this tour gives you a chance to meet someone who has dedicated his life to the sport and lifestyle. A few miles south of the Denali National Park entrance is a very special place called Goose Lake Kennel. It is home to champion Iditarod musher Jeff King, his wife Donna, a well-known wildlife artist, their three daughters, and 75 friendly, energetic sled dogs. During the summer, they welcome visitors at the homestead for an interesting and informative presentation on a musher's Alaska lifestyle, Alaska Huskies and the sport of dog mushing. You'll meet some of Jeff's champion Iditarod dogs up close and get to play with some of the puppies. See a training demonstration of a dog-powered carousel and daily life at the kennel. You'll see the variety of equipment used on the trail such as sleds and arctic survival gear and hear exciting stories and personal experiences on the Iditarod Trail. Don't miss this very personal look at a lifestyle that is Alaskan all the way. Note: Minimum age is 3 years old.
