Go Dogsledding in Canada’s Wilderness

Dogsledding has long been the way to get to faraway areas in colder climates. Yet many people think of the Iditarod when they hear the word dogsledding. If you are looking for a family vacation that will check an item off a destination bucket list, I have just the thing. Taking the time to go dogsledding in Canada’s wilderness will check off all your boxes. It’s an amazing experience and a chance to make unique memories with your family. Plus, it will allow you to see some of the most remote places in Canada.

What to Pack and Wear for Dogsledding in Canada’s Wilderness

You must dress appropriately if you want to go dogsledding in Canada. Warm clothes, waterproof boots, hats, and warm gloves are a must. It is best to dress in layers to keep the cold out. Your innermost layer should be wool or another synthetic material. Polar fleece is excellent over synthetic material. If you don’t have that, think of clothes that are cozy and warm, plus insulated.

Your outer clothes should all be waterproof and windproof. This is for both the top and bottom. Failure to wear these outer clothes will have you being wet and cold before you even start your dogsledding adventure.

Prior to Your Dogsledding in Canada’s Wilderness Adventure

Before you climb onto the dogsled and venture out, you will learn a few things. First, you will learn how to harness the dogs. Once they all have their harnesses on, you will stage the dogs and learn the commands you will need to drive them.

Once you have completed those things, you will finally be ready to head out on your own dogsledding adventure!
