At Gunflint Lodge in northern Minnesota, just across the border from Canada, your family can spend four days mushing through the woods. That's mush as in dog sledding, not cornmeal. You'll race through forests and over frozen lakes, and you'll even learn to care for, feed and harness the sled dogs. When the pooches need a breather, you can propel yourselves on cross-country skis or snowshoes along some 60 miles of groomed trails.
Lodging is in cabins with fireplaces.
Keep in mind that dog sledding is most appropriate for kids at least 4 or 5 years of age. Inc. All rights reserved.
