Power your own ATV on a small-group or private tour through backcountry trails in Fairbanks, Alaska. Each group has a dedicated local guide, all gear is included, and no experience is necessary (though a driver's license is).
Creeks to Peaks ATV Tour
Your trip will begin with a hotel pick-up in Fairbanks or by meeting your guide at the trailhead. There you’ll get fitted with all gear: buff/handkerchiefs, riding gloves, helmet, goggles. After an introduction to the machine—a single-driver Yamaha Kodiak ATV—you’ll set off on the trail!
For the next 2 hours, you’ll enjoy fun, splashy creek crossings, explore stands of birch and aspen groves, and may even cross into alpine and subalpine high country with open, panoramic vistas. Depending on the trail chosen for the day you might even see the Trans-Alaska Pipeline, stopping to take photos and hear about the history and development of this engineering marvel.
Tours are kept small and intimate, with a maximum of 3 drivers per tour. Want the trail to yourselves? Book all three slots for a private experience. For larger groups, please call or email—they can accommodate up to 4 drivers on a single tour with advance notice. Groups larger than 4 can be split across the morning and afternoon tour times.
About Fairbanks Snow Sleighers
Snow Sleighers was founded in 2015 by Brian and Jeremy, two fishy friends who met while working on Yukon River salmon conservation projects with the U.S. Fish & Wildlife Service. In the winters, while the rivers were frozen and the salmon were away, they both got hooked on the thrill of snowmobiling and developed a passion for guiding. Today, they bring a deep local knowledge, a background in fisheries and wildlife science, and a genuine enthusiasm for Alaska’s winter landscape to all of their tours.
