Husky Hike - Guided Nature Walk w/ Siberian Huskies
Hike with Siberian Huskies through the boreal forest of Interior Alaska. After a brief tour of the homestead, we will visit the dog yard and you will meet your hiking partner. You will learn to harness your husky, and then together we will embark on a nature walk through the old growth boreal forest that surrounds the homestead. We will point out wildflowers, trees, and animals on our walk up to the top of the ridge, where vast panoramic views of the Chatanika River Valley and the White Mountains await. We will sit on top of the ridge and enjoy a home-baked snack and a hot drink before we descend back down through the cranberry bushes and ferns to the kennel. Arctic Dog Adventure Co. is the first certified eco tourism dog sled company in Alaska. We pride ourselves in offering dog sled tours of the highest quality while striving to lessen our environmental impact.

Meeting / End Points
- Arctic Dog Adventure Co. is located approximately 30 minutes from downtown Fairbanks. Driving time may vary according to road conditions. **Please note, GPS MAY NOT WORK. Make sure you are coming via the Elliott Highway (AK-2) NOT Parks Highway/Goldstream Rd/Sheep Creek/Spinach Creek Roads. If you go the wrong way, you will end up on a trail not a road! Follow our directions below ** 1) Head North from Fairbanks on the Elliott/Steese Highway (AK-2). Ten miles outside of town, you will reach Fox, the junction of the Steese and the Elliot highways (AK-6 & AK-2). Go straight through Fox on AK-2 (turning right will take you up the Steese Highway (AK-6), turning left will take you to the Goldstream Valley). 2) 3.5 miles past Fox, at the top of a steep and windy hill, take a LEFT onto OLD MURPHY DOME ROAD. 3) Drive 7 miles down Old Murphy Dome Road and take a LEFT at the first street sign you see: HATTIE CREEK ROAD. 4) We are the FOURTH driveway on the RIGHT. We have a sign reading "Arctic Dog Adventure Co." at the bottom of the driveway. Drive up the driveway. Parking is on the right. If you miss the driveway, do NOT make a left hand turn into the drive -- this is a good way to get stuck. Go back up to the top of the hill to turn around in order to make the right hand turn into the drive.
