Seavey trains his team all summerlong, and this two-mile romp is part of the drill. The Seavey family, including wife Janine and four sons, is a true Iditarod family. Mitch's dad, Dan Seavey, helped found the race in the early '70s, felling trees to clear a course along what was an historic sled-dog trail. The Seaveys train dogs and welcome summertime visitors to their Seward-based Ididaride tours. Two miles through a bit of Alaskan summertime drizzle was enough for me.
Reservations are a good idea.
Ididaride is located at mile 1.1, Old Exit Glacier Road, Seward, Alaska.
