Spring is in the Air!
We have been very lucky to have such a great winter here in “our neck of the woods” with snow and ice on Umbagog Lake! We have been taking out lots of people on some very memorable dog sledding trips!

We have another month of trips here in Maine and then extend the winter season by going north on a Snowshoeing Trip with the Cree. This is a very rich cultural experience!

A new trip we are offering this summer is an Arctic Wildlife Inuit Cultural Basecamp Trip. We are guiding this trip with Inuk Allen Gordon who we have been doing dog sledding trips with for years. There will be a very good chance of seeing musk ox and northern lights on this trip among other amazing things!
Here is a nice blog post written by a couple who went out with us on an overnight trip recently. They were a joy to spend three days with!

She ran in any position in the team and was versatile sometimes going with Polly’s teams if […]
Thank you, Polly and Kevin, for sharing the magic of your world with us! Two extraordinary days of mushing through serene winterscapes, snowshoeing to frozen waterfalls, and befriending your happy Yukon Huskies all gave us memories for a lifetime. We also appreciated your flexibility to provide an alternate (but equally exciting) itinerary when weather prevented the original plan. We cannot wait to return!
