Dog Sledding Adventures in North America

By Rudi Kiya

Dog Sledding in British Columbia: The mountainous environment and copious amounts of snow has made British Columbia an ideal destination and more recently a dog sledding Mecca for visitors hoping for the experience and not the extreme temperatures of the arctic. Dog sledding is available as far east as Banff and Jasper, two national parks which border British Columbia and Alberta and as far west as the Sea to Sky corridor near the town of Whistler. Visitors to the Vancouver region can enjoy a dog sledding experience as close as Mount Seymour where short trails are available once there is enough snow on the ground in the winter season. Most people seeking the dog sledding experience go to Whistler where several outfitters take visitors through breathtaking mountain passes and along snow covered forests. British Columbia offers many opportunities throughout the province to try out this unique mode of transportation without the cold temperatures of the far north.<<more>>
