Dog Sledding in Minnesota:
Group Trip Highlights Week Two
After a successful first week of dog sledding in Minnesota, I was excited to have 11 others joining my group trip in Ely for the second week!
Although still hitting the trails with Wintergreen Dog Sledding we were staying at Timber Trail Lodge to accommodate our larger group. Our lodging consisted of a large main cabin just off the lake and several smaller rooms just a short walk away.
Wednesday
Everyone arrived in Ely, Minnesota around 3pm for the first day of the trip! We kicked off with a welcome bonfire & dinner as a group.
Thursday
Despite a record warm snap that was melting a lot of snow in Ely during this trip, we had a full day dog sledding out on the trails!
Friday
Another full day of dog sledding took us across frozen lakes, through forests, past snow-covered beaver dams and to a trail campsite for a cook-out lunch.
We returned back to our lodging in the late afternoon, exhausted but happy from a full day with the dogs!
Northern Lights
That night while sitting around the campfire, we were treated to the most spectacular surprise, the Northern Lights! It was a major bucket list moment for many of us and a night we won’t soon forget.
Saturday
Our final full day of dog sledding was unusually warm for Ely in March but still made for a busy full day on the trails!
After we said goodbye to the dogs, we headed back to our lodge for dinner.
International Wolf Center
In the evening, we attended the feeding program at the International Wolf Center in Ely.
That night half the group camped out under the stars on the lake in our winter camping gear from Wiggy. We stayed nice & toasty warm!
Sunday
After a farewell brunch, we said our goodbyes & parted ways. Stay tuned for many more group trips to come!
