The Denver Glacier – Skagway

camp manager

Nate Gratton

Nathan Gratton owns a small kennel of 19 Alaskan Huskies, along with his wife and three boys. In the winter months, he and his family give tours in Vermont and participate in races on the East Coast. Nathan feels blessed to have spent 10 summers working on the Denver Glacier for Alaska Icefield Expeditions. When given the opportunity to return and share this experience with his family, they were all extremely excited. Packing up all the dogs and kids, they made the 3,800-mile trek back to Alaska. Nathan is looking forward to another summer on the Denver Glacier, watching his dogs do what they love to do.

Born and raised in Lyon, France, with American roots on my mom’s side, Grew up crossing the Atlantic every couple of years and quickly developed a love for wide open spaces and adventure. Now I live a life shaped by season, working winters in France and spending summers in North America chasing unique jobs and big landscapes. I spent a summer working on a ranch in Wyoming before heading north Canada to care for sled dogs. It didn’t take long for me to fall in love with life around a kennel, and what started as a seasonal job soon turned into a full-time year working as a sled dog musher guiding tours somewhere between snow trails and wagging tails. When I’m not on the runners behind a team of excited dogs, you can usually find me pending time with the kennel, exploring the outdoors, planning the next adventure or cuddling with my cat, Pumpkin. One thing is certain: life is better with a team of dogs and a trail ahead that is a little unpredictable.
