Dog Sledding Fun

Wednesday March 22nd we had a dog sledding adventure. We were picked up at the house and driven to the kennels where about 50 dogs are cared for and trained to pull different types of dog sleds.

We chose North of 60 Adventures a family owned business. They offer different tours to share the cultural traditions and teachings they learned from their grandparents. The young men running the sledding were a lot of fun and took great care of us.

We had enjoyed the Norwegian dog sledding experience so much we decided to select the 'you drive' option again. This time John had a more comfortable sled with a few cushions, although it was still on the bumpy side. Sara was "Musher Girl" again!

We had a wonderful time cruising over the frozen lakes and through the forest. Luckily the dogs were kind to the rookie musher and kept to the trail. We got some cool video from the GoPros. One fell off right at the start after a big bump, but the lead guy kindly picked up and took some excellent video from his snowmobile. Here's Sara's first video editing attempt: Click for Dog Sledding Video. 

After the dog sledding we warmed up in a cabin and enjoyed some hot drinks and bannocks (Canadian like scones). It was really a wonderful experience!
