My Alaska Cruise Adventure: Dogsledding in Skagway

Posted by at 18 July, 2012, 9:36 pm

I’ve gotten to try many modes of transportation on my media trip through Alaska, hosted by Princess Cruises. So far I’ve ridden on riverboats, trains, and horses. Yesterday I added helicopters and dog sleds to my list.

The Dogsledding and Glacier Flightseeing Tour is one of Princess’ most popular excursions in Skagway, and it’s easy to see why!

First you helicopter over mountains and ice fields. It’s just white as far as the eye can see.

Soon, the sled dog camp comes into view.

We landed on the glacier.

I got to drive! Did someone say mush?

These Alaskan huskies love their job!

We had an exhilarating ride across the ice, with our team confidently leading the way!
Afterwards, we got doggie kisses, and even got to cuddle some of the puppies.
