What is a yurt? A yurt is an insulated Mongolian tent-like shelter with a wooden frame and a canvas skin. Heated, a yurt provides the warmth and comfort of a lodge with the remoteness of a campsite. Although remote, the yurt experience is far from "roughing it." In addition to two nights at the yurt, enjoy a comfortable lodge both the first and last night of the program. Tickle your palate with delicious meals, complete with special desserts.

• 3 days dog sledding (2 nights in a lodge and 2 nights at yurt) • Premiere style (you drive your own team for the entire trip) • Explore over 90 miles of the Superior National Forest by dog team • Physically active and adventurous trip • No previous dog sledding experience needed • Perfect for individuals,couples and famlies

This premier style trip (one person per sled) includes three full days of mushing to explore a variety of trails. The two nights at the yurt increases the chances of a starry or moonlit night, or even seeing the aurora borealis.
