Alaska in Winter: Northern Lights & Dog Sledding Adventure
Winter in Alaska — a remote, snow-covered wonderland — might seem intimidating, but this 8-day adventure will win over even the most dedicated sun worshipper. Kick things off in Anchorage, where you’ll explore cultural landmarks and dive into the stories of Alaska’s Indigenous peoples at the Alaska Native Heritage Center. Then, it’s time for some serious fun: go dog sledding with Iditarod champion pups and learn to mush like a pro. Hop aboard the Aurora Winter Train and glide through the frozen tundra to Fairbanks. Walk across the shimmering surface of Matanuska Glacier, visit the festive town of North Pole, and chase the Northern Lights on a thrilling nighttime expedition. Top it all off with a soak in the steamy Chena Hot Springs, and you’ve got a winter adventure you’ll never forget.
