This three-day, two-night trip is for adventure seekers only! Drive your own
team of dogs into the beautiful Caribou Hills to see mountains, cross rivers
and check out wildlife all on the back of a dog team.
Day 1:  An introduction to mushing. Meet the dogs, learn how to harness a       
team, steer and brake on the sled and what to expect on the trail. Take off
from the Spitfire Kennels yard with Jillian and Rich to Caribou Lake where we
will spend the night around a cozy fire in the comfort of a lodge.
Day 2: Getting to know the back-country. After a leisurely breakfast, hook up  
your team with Jillian and Rich and head into the mountains for an afternoon
of challenging terrain and amazing scenery. Enjoy an authentic trail lunch with
your team before heading back to Caribou Lake for another night in the wilds.
Day 3: After breakfast, hook up your team one more time to head back to the
kennel. Don’t forget your camera for plenty of photos with your new pals.
Meals will be provided during the trip. Transportation to the kennel and
accommodations before and after the dog sled trip are not included though
packages with Timber Bay B&B are available. Some extra warm clothing is
available but please check for details.

Please phone or email for more details and pricing.
Tours and Rides
Spitfire Kennels is branching out this year in Homer and offering kennel tours, rides
and even multi-day trips into the Caribou Hills. Accommodation packages are
available through Timber Bay B&B and Bear Creek Winery and Lodging.
Guests who come to Spitfire Kennels for a ride and tour should dress warmly as
temperature and wind can vary.
Two Hour Tour
Come visit with the big dogs in the yard and the puppies in the puppy pen while
Jillian and Rich talk about what it takes to run dogs in Alaska. Hear tales of the
Iditarod trail and other races and see what kind of gear goes on every run. Then
bundle up and hold on, because you’re in for the ride of your life! A 30-minute
ride will have you whizzing over frozen creeks and through alpine forests with
the mountains all around you while you watch what these dogs were born to
do: run! If you’re feeling adventurous, you can even drive the team home, but if
not, just sit back and enjoy the ride. Upon returning to the kennel, enjoy some
light refreshments before saying good-bye to your new furry, four-legged
friends.
Two hours - $100.
Breakfast and a Ride
Take in the views of mountains and glaciers on East End Road on your drive to
Timber Bay B&B where you’ll be treated to a leisurely, gourmet breakfast
before hopping in a dog sled (that will arrive right at your door!) and whizzing
off for a 20-minute ride behind a team of eager huskies.
Two hours - $100
Full Moon Tour
Make sure you check your calendar be sure the moon is full for this nighttime
run. Make it a romantic ride under the bright, full moon or bring the family for
a new take on Homer! When the moon is full and the sky is clear views of the
mountains and glaciers around Kachemak Bay are as plain as day!
