janikh Posted March 13, 2015 #1 Share Posted March 13, 2015 We are thinking about dog sledding as part of an excursion. Is it worth doing in July when there isn't any snow? We saw one in Skagway, but it is in a cart and is on a path. Is that the only way to do it? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
chipmaster Posted March 13, 2015 #2 Share Posted March 13, 2015 There is the very expensive helicopter to glacier excursions. It is a unique if not a bit artificial experience. I got grief from my wife at the cost but everyone was all smiles after and didn't mention the cost again. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm glad to hear it is worth the cost! :D I've talked to friends and have asked them, "What was your favorite thing you did in Alaska?" And they have all responded, "Dog Sledding". Can't Wait!!! We only have 122 days until our adventure begins! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

This trip report has info and photos from a heli-dog sld excursion from Juneau. http://boards.cruisecritic.com/showthread.php?p=43436631#post43436631g If you look thru the 2014 trip reports for MollanJake's photojournal, they did a heli-dog sled trip but out of Seward.

Budget Queen Posted March 13, 2015 #5 Share Posted March 13, 2015 This is a consistently raved about tour. Always have backup plans available, with phone numbers handy. This is the most canceled Alaska tour. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
