Are you hungering for a real adventure? Leave the armchair behind as we embark on a 6-day wilderness dog sledding journey designed for exploration, challenge, and inspiration. You will learn to drive your own team of 4-6 dogs (premier style) through the spectacular scenery of northern Minnesota.

4 days dog sledding (2 nights in a lodge, 1 night at yurt, and 2 nights camping) Premiere style (you drive your own sled for the entire trip) Explore the pristine Boundary Waters wilderness area by dog team Learn winter camping and wilderness travel skills Physically active and adventurous trip Intermediate level trip - narrower trails, winter camping, physically challenging

Learn to mush a team of dogs as we travel in the world famous Boundary Waters wilderness, and gain winter camping experience under the guidance of a seasoned winter traveler. This trip is for people who have always been interested in winter camping, but who have not yet had the opportunity to give it a try.

After an evening introduction to mushing and staying warm in the winter, spend your first night at a lodge. Learn basic sled driving skills the next morning before you head out on a four-day trip. Ease into your trip by spending the first night at our cozy heated backcountry yurt, located on a secluded lake. The following morning, we'll travel across pristine lakes and forest trails. The tracks you see will be your own, or those of the native inhabitants - timber wolves, fox, moose and snowshoe hare.

After setting up a base camp for two nights, and explore deeper into the wilderness by dog team. Savor dinner around a crackling campfire and enjoy the star-studded night sky studded with perhaps a sighting of the aurora borealis. Retire to winter sleeping bags and expedition tents for a comfortable night's sleep. The fourth day culminates with a tour of our favorite forest trails. All totaled, we will likely cover over 100 miles on this journey. The final night of the trip is back at the lodge, and the trip concludes with breakfast the following morning.

Our guides see to it that you learn not only to mush, but also to winter camp comfortably. All winter camping equipment is provided. Parka, wind pants, and winter boots are available for rent.
