Begin your tour by meeting the stars of the show; a team of Last Frontier's affectionate Alaskan Huskies. Snap a few husky selfies, give belly rubs, and get to know your team before settling into your enclosed, cushioned sled, wrapped in reindeer hides and warm quilts.
Then, the magic begins! Your private guide and canine team will whisk you through a pristine winter wonderland of snow-laden black spruce, frozen ponds, and glistening tundra. Whether you're bathed in the golden light of an arctic sunrise or kissed by a rose-colored sunset, the scenery will leave you breathless.

After your ride, step into the cozy warmth of an authentic Mongolian yurt. Melt your frozen eyelashes by the crackling wood stove, and thaw your toes as the glow of your adventure lingers.
