NORTHERN LIGHTS TRIPS
The best time to view the northern lights in Alaska is between November and April, when cold arctic high-pressure systems blanket the entire state. Due to the abundance of lengthy, chilly clear nights, a visit during winter offers you the greatest chance of seeing the northern lights.
Arctic Dog Adventure Co offers unforgettable aurora viewing experiences.
During these northern lights husky trips, we'll take you to the epicenter of aurora borealis activity where you'll work together with an expert husky musher as you journey across breathtaking scenery highlighted by the aurora borealis.
This is a once-in-a-lifetime chance to see one of nature's most magnificent sights, and Arctic Dog Adventure Co. can take you to the perfect viewing location.
With expert guides, well-trained dogs, and all the necessary equipment, we’ll make sure you have everything you need for an unforgettable trip.
The following is a list of our top Northern Lights Husky Trips. These trips will provide you with an excellent opportunity to observe the aurora borealis.

Located just north of Fairbanks, Alaska, the White Mountains National Recreation Area has over one million acres of wilderness marked by rolling black spruce forest, rocky limestone cliffs, open river valleys, and mountain ridges adorned with mystical black granite tors. An ideal place to view the northern lights, this incredible landscape is patterned with the scars of old wildfire burns and has over two hundred miles of trails serving twelve remote cabins.
