Experience for yourself what a real Alaska lifestyle looks like, and discover the hard work and dedication that goes into producing a world class, championship team of sled dog athletes at the Husky Homestead - home of multi-winning Iditarod champion Jeff King, and summer training center for some of the most talented Husky athletes in the world.
Jeff King has won more Iditarod championships than any other person. He is also the winner of several other first place titles and trophies for various other sled dog races across Alaska.
Jeff is a true-blue Alaskan through and through, who has been living in, competing in and adventuring in Alaska for more than 40 years! Jeff and his team of athletes, trainers and the entire staff at the Husky Homestead have an authentic love and passion for Alaska and the sport of dog sledding which is both obvious and infectious.
The Husky Homestead is the training ground for Jeff’s team of champion Husky athletes and it is a joy and a treat to see the amazing passion and work ethic that these talented dogs have for the sport as they progress through their phases of training, from adorable puppy-hood to fully-equipped champion athlete.
Summer Tours run from June 1 through August 31 at the Husky Homestead which is located just outside the entrance to Denali National Park.
The Husky Homestead Tour is one of the most highly-rated activities in the Denali area and is the perfect addition to your Denali National Park vacation! You will fall in love with the adorable little Husky athletes in training that will be among the first to greet you as you arrive at the Homestead, and your first order of duty upon arrival is to cuddle and hold these little bundles of joy for a few moments. Which it turns out is not only good therapy for you, it is also an important part of these little athletes training, as it gets them used to socializing with new people.
If you are like most visitors to the Husky Homestead, you will find it hard to pull away from the Husky puppy social, however you will have to, because there is so much more to see and do and learn before your adventure is over.
Following your time of cuddling the Husky pups, you will get to watch the adult Husky athletes as they go through their rigorous training process! You will witness first-hand what it takes to become a world-champion sled-dog athlete, and you will certainly gain new respect and admiration for these beautiful animals and the hard work and dedication that they put in.
You will be amazed as you witness the incredible speed and power of these Husky dogs as they explode out of the training yard on a training run, and you will have the opportunity to watch their true poetry in motion as they run in rhythm on a custom built 50' training treadmill.
During the rest of the presentation you will learn from Jeff King and his talented staff about what it really looks like to live an authentic Alaskan lifestyle and what it takes to become a champion Iditarod athlete from a human perspective.
Jeff and his team will share personal experiences from more than 40 years of living in and adventuring in Alaska, including epic tales from running in and winning the Iditarod race, not just once, but multiple times!
Visiting the Husky Homestead is sure to be one of the most treasured and lasting memories that you will take away from your Denali vacation!
