Training Sled Dogs, Staff and Participants There are many dogsledding trips out there so what makes white wilderness unique? First of all we believe in our guests running dogs the way a musher would.

Yurt Camping By Dog Sled

Scout–Genius Dog

There is a story of Mark Spitz being called out by his teammates for not practicing with them. He dove into the pool, broke a world record, and said when they could do that he would practice with them. I have a dog like that. Scout hates to practice. When we are training in the

Dog Yard Upkeep

Summer dog yard maintenance includes keeping the grass, or as we tend to have weeds, mowed. This helps keep the bugs to a minimum. We have help in this with two ponies. We take turns letting one of them out. They just love the dog yard; which can be very frustrating. I have seen the

Doug–Old Man Winter

In 2007 I met a wandering soul at Birch Lake Campground. He was in the process of putting his life back together after having been hurt physically and psychologically. He was interested in a job, and we had need of a campground host. To be honest, I was pretty nervous about hiring him. But I

We’ve Got Snow!

Winter is quiet today. I am laying in the snow with my camera, waiting for the first sled dog teams to emerge around the bend. I hear the wingbeat of a curious Raven circling overhead, wondering if I might be lunch. Snowflakes drift down, accumulating at an imperceptible rate. Finally, the first lead dogs come
