what hotel would you recommend if I would like to make some tours outside of the city? I would love to do some dog sledding. is this a realistic scenario? are there half-day or full-day tours? could not find too much through google...

also: is it worth to use one of the two days to fly to Barrow or some other point and back? is the flight anchorage-fairbanks-prudhoe bay-barrow some kind of a flight safari with wonderful views? :-D

what would you recommend for an alaska-first-timer?

thank you very much for answers.
