National Geographic calls this a trip of a lifetime! Travel the Boundary Waters Canoe Area by dogsled, camp by firelight, and enjoy one of the most popular areas in Minnesota free of crowds, bugs, and bears. This trip is arranged through Wintergreen Dogsled Lodge in Ely, MN.
We’ll spend Wednesday night at the Wintergreen Lodge on White Iron Lake, then set off for a guided adventure in the BWCAW with Wintergreen guides, freighter sleds and dogs. We’ll spend three nights on trail, then return either to the Wintergreen Lodge or another Ely area lodge on Sunday afternoon. An optional outing to the International Wolf Center can also be arranged after breakfast on Monday.
All personal and group gear is included: skis, snowshoes, polar sleeping bags and bivy sacs, tents, meals, even water bottles, bowls and silverware! All you need to bring is your winter clothing and boots. Even boots and winter outerwear can be rented in Ely.
All meals and snacks are included. Wintergreen Lodge boasts 5-star French chef Bernard Hermann for lodge meals, and trail meals are prepared by wonderful Wintergreen guides. With advance notice, special diets are easily accommodated.
Cost is $1,175 per person. Tips for guides and gas costs to travel to Ely additional. Non-refundable deposit is $100, due October 1st (made out to Wintergreen Dogsledding Lodge). Balance is due by December 12th. Please include registration form with deposit. I will collect payments and registration materials and forward to Wintergreen. Rovers membership is required to register for this trip. Please e-mail Audrey for more information or to register.
