Experience the unique thrill of zipping across a pristine glacier with a team of friendly Alaskan sled dogs while enjoying the fresh mountain air and scenic vistas. The exclusive dog sled camp is located on the picturesque middle branch of the Norris Glacier. On your way there, you'll be amazed by a wondrous flightseeing trip over the vast Juneau Icefield.
