The locals know that winter is often the best season for exploring the northwoods. No crowds, no bugs. Northwoods beauty all to yourself, whether you plan to experience it from the armchair of a cozy cabin, on snowshoes or by dogteam. Make the most of your trip north by dovetailing your itinerary with many other winter events happening in the area:

White Wilderness Guide Mariah takes a time out for a little puppy love.

It’s the trip of a lifetime!  Our Winter Odyssey offers it all.  We've booked oodles of them this winter, and yet somehow just this one Odyssey remains almost EMPTY!?!  How can this be?  Consider taking some time out to enjoy the northwoods and the friendliest touring dogs around during President’s Week. Join us for four days of mushing your own team through the Superior National Forest and Boundary Waters Canoe Area Wilderness just outside of Ely, Minnesota.  Three nights staying in the cozy comfort of a northwoods lodge and two nights in our very own Mongolian style yurt.  Could it get better than that?  Sure could!  On your final evening, your guides will grill steak dinner out on an open fire and lead you on a night run home under the star studded winter sky with yet another of Peter’s delicious desserts waiting  back at the kennel.

SPECIAL DISCOUNT: If that isn’t enough to convince you yet, we’ve taken $100 off the trip cost for each participant who registers.  Heck, make that $300 off for any 2 folks registering together. Come out and experience White Wilderness’ Winter Odyssey this February!
