What to expect

This is your Aurora Tour held at Sluice Box Sled Dogs in Ester, Alaska just west of Fairbanks.
This tour is all about authentic Alaska in a spectacular setting, with a perfect northward view for those lights to show up!
You will get to visit some working sled dogs, see a homestead, and learn about the Aurora all while hanging out in your Arctic Oven Tent.
This type of tent is how people in arctic climates have survived for centuries, yours is a bit more modern. It's heated with a wood stove and is well insulated with lots of room to relax.
Your Aurora host will give a space weather talk about the Aurora while waiting for those magical lights to appear in the sky.
While waiting she can help with photography setup of your own cameras or cell phones.
