Tired of only getting to yell "mush!" when your mom asks you what you want for dinner? Try out an entirely different context for the word, with this awesome Winter Dog Sledding package from Salmon Berry Tours. Your day begins navigating the snowy roads north of Anchorage -- not on the dog sled yet though. That comes later, after an early lunch in Wasilla, and maybe some photos at Denali. The good stuff happens when you get to Dallas Seavey Racing and meet your crew. You'll get to know each other via traditional canine methods -- they'll sniff your butt -- and then they'll introduce you to the dogs. And then it's racing time! You'll take part in "The Last Great Race" at this exceptionally professional kennel. And you'll finally get to say that magic word. You know the one. The "M" word.

You look like you could use some coffee. Better yet -- if you REALLY want to wake yourself up, why not try a "Coffee Grinder" -- as in, the Class III rapid? If that doesn't open your eyes, we don't know what will! Take this trip to get a glimpse of Alaskan whitewater rafting and discover other such Class III (and one Class IV) rapids as "Cable Car" and the "Ice Worm" as you churn 11 miles downriver. Don't forget your biceps! You'll need 'em on this trip! Denali Raft offers this course for ages 12 and up. This one is sure to give you the thrilling, enjoyable rafting experience you've always wanted, so get ready to see a whole new side of Alaska! As you raft downstream, keep an eye out for creatures such as moose, sheep, caribou, and bears along the way! Good thing bears don't like to swim -- well, not ALL of them, anyway... ;)

The most beautiful places in the world are often the most remote -- but that doesn't stop you! Strap yourself into your private aircraft and take to the skies in search of wonder and adventure. You'll fly through Denali National Park and take in all of the incredible sights. Swoop down into the world's deepest gorge, buzz past the Mountain formerly known as McKinley, and make a glacial landing on the peaks shoulder. You'll take in views that can only be seen on this tour -- and of course bring back photographic evidence for you friends. Don't let the distances, or the incredibly rugged terrain stop you -- take an adventure to see one of the most awesome landscapes in the world!
