Denali Sled Dog Kennels

Denali Sled Dog Kennels is the only U.S. national park facility where sled dogs are used to patrol and perform essential tasks, such as hauling heavy loads for bridge construction. Visitors can witness the transformation of these dogs from relaxed companions to eager athletes when they are harnessed for sledding demonstrations. The kennels are accessible via a pleasant 0.2-mile walk, and the experience is free, making it a unique visit for families and dog lovers alike.
