Your bedroom has a wood burner to keep you cosy during those colder days, just take one step outside to your rustic outhouse. The under cover glamping area has picture perfect views through the windows and a very basic kitchenette. While lighting your outside bath enjoy a stunning sunset over Mount Taranaki, keeping in mind you are experiencing all of this from the central plateau.
Winter Visit Information
Imagine your ski plane touching down in four feet of powdery snow on a runway marked with spruce boughs as you land on frozen Iniakuk Lake and head up to the Main Lodge. It’s “springtime” in the Brooks Range in February, March and April which means 14 hours of daylight and daytime temperatures around 20 degrees Fahrenheit (-6C).
The jagged peaks of the Brooks Range tower in the distance, smoke from the wood stove scents the air, and snow-covered silence surrounds you. Inside Iniakuk Lake Wilderness Lodge there is fresh baked bread, friendly faces and hand-crafted log surroundings. Welcome to our home.
This is luxury in the Far North. Solar panels provide 24-hour electricity, wood fires keep the lodge warm and cozy, and your dog sledding guides will keep you entertained with stories and adventures from life on the trail while providing you the opportunity to create your own.
The main lodge on Iniakuk Lake provides all-inclusive comfort surrounded by endless wilderness. Wake up in the morning to sourdough blueberry pancakes, drink coffee by the fire, then wander out to the dog yard later and mush for a few hours across the surrounding lakes and valleys. Return in the early afternoon, take a sauna, have dinner and prepare for the Northern Lights. This is luxury in the Far North.
Learn how to drive your own team of huskies, or book a trip with a professional photographic guide to document your trip and learn how to photograph the aurora as well. Our introduction to dog sledding trips are created for any fitness level while our expedition and advanced level trips require more fitness as you spend longer days on the trail, covering more miles and more difficult terrain.
This is the ultimate in Alaskan experiences and comfort 60 miles north of the Arctic Circle, six miles outside Gates of the Arctic National Park and 180 degrees from anything you have ever done before. Each trip offers exclusive use of all facilities, equipment and staff. We have been in business over 45 years in the Brooks Range, we know what it takes to have a good time in comfort.
