The happiest day!
I had an absolute blast dog sledding at happy trails kennel and highly recommend this experience! This kennel is owned by Martin Buser, a renowned dog musher who has competed in the Iditarod dozens of times and has even taken first place several times - how cool?! Our guide (Michael) did a phenomenal job driving the dog sled and answering mine and my friend’s many questions. He had much knowledge to share as he has also competed in the Iditarod several times! The views were breathtaking and we were comfortable during the whole ride as the kennel provided boots, parkas, and other cold weather gear. Additionally, getting to play with the dogs after the ride made my day - heck it made my week! I recommend this experience for everyone, but especially to dog lovers!

Bucket List, CHECK!
I have been waiting for over 20 years to go dog sledding, and I don't think I could have picked a better place. The facility is very nice, and the property is stunning. The dogs are very well taken care of and the guide was very patient with all of the questions I had been saving up for twenty years. Everyone there was smiling, and it was clear to me that they are living the dream of pursuing their passions full time. The trails were clearly marked and well maintained, as was all of the equipment. I highly recommend this place to anyone I see that is interested in an amazing, almost surreal adventure. A sincere thank you to everyone who made it possible!!!

Bucket List "MUST DO"!
Visiting Happy Trails Kennel was the highlight of our Iditarod weekend....we knew it would be fun...but it was ABSOLUTELY AMAZING! Riding on a sled pulled by Dee Dee's team was a dream come true. Dee Dee had so much information to share with us during the ride. Martin was so friendly and kind, and personally signed the book we purchased at the gift shop. The movie was well done and informative. Holding the puppies was pure joy---and we never wanted to leave. This day at Happy Trails Kennel was perfect in every way. We would 100%recommend this activity for couples, for groups of friends, for families, and for kids of all ages. Our Bucket List dream was finally fulfilled and it happened at the perfect place: Happy Trails Kennel!!
