Mushing on the Denali Express

The Denali Express is Princess Cruises' sightseeing train that transports tourists from the cruise ship port of Whittier, Alaska to the railroad station at Denali National Park. Since late May, Aliy and Allen have been entertaining folks aboard this train with stories of their mushing lifestyle and their racing adventures. Their last train presentation for this year is next week, September 19, the last day of summer tourist season. By then they will have introduced the sport of dog mushing to almost 20,000 visitors from all over the world.

Here are a few pictures of our SP Kennel mushers on the Denali Express, acting as ambassadors for the sport of dog mushing.

Aliy explains how she became a professional dog musher on the Denali Express.

Allen is a natural storyteller.
The tale of his dog team's encounter with a red fox on the Yukon Quest trail elicits wonder.

Aliy presents SP Kennel tee shirts to Alaska visitors who rode the train to Denali National Park.
