Real Snow Glacier Camps & Rainforest Summer Camps
Juneau dog sledding tours & glacier dog camps
Dog sledding in Juneau offers two distinct styles: high-altitude helicopter flights landing on Juneau Icefield snow camps (Herbert and Norris Glaciers) to ride on real snow, and rainforest summer camps where Iditarod mushers train Alaskan husky teams on wheeled dirt carts.

Sled camps are operated by veteran mushers and Alaskan huskies from mid-May through August. Tours cost $650 to $799 per person, run approximately 2.75 to 3 hours round-trip, and include van transfers from the cruise docks.
