BACKCOUNTRY CABIN TRIPS
Experience the best of Alaska’s winter wilderness with our guided cabin dog sled tours.
These backcountry adventures take you deep into the remote heart of Interior Alaska, where you'll spend your days mushing your own team of huskies across frozen rivers, rolling ridgelines, and scenic valleys—and your nights unwinding in cozy, wood-heated log cabins.
Designed for adventurous spirits who still appreciate a warm bed and hearty meal at the end of the day, our cabin trips offer the perfect blend of challenge, comfort, and connection with the natural world.
The following is a list of all of our Backcountry Dog Sled Trips with Cabin Stays:
HUT TO HUT
DOG SLEDDING ADVENTURES
5 Days | Multiple Cabins
In our opinion, our Hut to Hut White Mountains Dog Sledding Adventures are the best way to view the northern lights in Fairbanks! One of the best places on earth to view the northern lights, this incredible landscape has over two hundred miles of trail ideal for travel by dog team.
The wide open landscape of the White Mountains provides the perfect Northern backdrop for spotting the aurora borealis. Our 5 day excursions in the Alaskan wilderness will maximize your time away from light pollution so you have the highest chance of seeing the northern lights at their fullest.
You'll mush your own team of huskies each day as you traverse different parts of the White Mountains, making stops at charming huts along the way to rest and refuel. This truly is a once-in-a-lifetime experience that you won't want to miss.
TOLOVANA HOT SPRINGS
4 Days | Basecamp at a Hot Springs Cabin
There is hardly anything more enjoyable than viewing the northern stars and shimmering aurora from a steaming hot tub, deep in the remote Alaskan wilderness!
Our Tolovana Hot Springs Trip offers scenic winter wilderness travel accentuated by a relaxing stint at backcountry hot springs. This is a trip that truly shows off the expansive beauty and hidden treasures of Interior Alaska.
After a day of orientation and gear check at Arctic Dog Adventure Co, we will take one day to travel to the hot springs; three days to explore the hot springs and the surrounding area; then one day to mush back out to the trailhead.
This trip will include orientation night at our homestead and fours nights in private cabin accommodations, fully immersed in the rustic luxury that is Tolovana Hot Springs.
CACHE MOUNTAIN CROSSING
7 Days | Multiple Cabins
Chase the aurora deep into Alaska’s backcountry on this unforgettable 7-day dog sledding journey through the White Mountains. Each night, you’ll settle into remote log cabins under some of the darkest, clearest skies in the world—ideal conditions for spotting the Northern Lights dancing overhead.
By day, you’ll mush your own team of Siberian Huskies across frozen rivers, through ancient spruce forests, and over dramatic mountain passes, including the breathtaking Cache Mountain Divide. Along the way, marvel at surreal rock formations, limestone cliffs, and the untamed quiet of a truly wild landscape.
This trip is perfect for active adventurers—no mushing experience needed. We’ll teach you everything you need to know. All meals, gear, and warm cabin accommodations are included. With expert guiding, scenic trails, and a real chance to see the aurora in its full glory, Cache Mountain is where winter dreams come to life.
