Dog Mushing
Take a quick ride around the Park Strip in downtown during Anchorage Fur Rendezvous, visit a musher's kennel, or sign up for an adventure along groomed trails or through the wilderness. If just watching is more your speed, don't miss the Iditarod Trail Sled Dog Race - it starts right downtown! There are also World Championship Sled Dog Races during the Anchorage Fur Rendezvous and regular events at Tozier Sled Dog Track.
