The morning of Day 2 is spent dogsledding. This hands-on activity will have you assisting the guides with harnessing the dogs and attaching them to the sleds. Once ready to go, you will enjoy an exhilarating ride on the sled with breathtaking views of the Spray Valley. In the afternoon you are free to explore the shops and sites Canmore. Day 3 is a guided cross-country ski tour to take in the views of some of the beautiful snowcapped mountains. Terrain is easy to moderate depending on ability and comfort level. Equipment, lessons and lunch are included. On the fourth day you will follow the footsteps of a traditional Canadian trapper and learn the basics of winter animal tracking. You will start by exploring your own tracks and amaze yourself at what you can learn from them. Then, you will go in search of other animal tracks in which to build upon what you’ve already discovered. On Day 5 enjoy a canyon ice walk and evening dogsled run. With your guide, explore the ice flows and pictographs of Grotto Canyon. Here you will learn the Native story behind these drawings as to why they are there, who might have left them, and who we know did not leave them! In th evening experience the wonders of the winter land by dog sled at night. Enjoy some hot chocolate while wrapped up in a warm blanket as your dog team leads you into the evening splendors of the Rockies. On the last day you will have a lesson in bush craft shelters. The Natives and Early Explorers not only survived in this chilly land, but thrived in it! Learn how they accomplished this feat by building a shelter for the winter and stoking a fire for it. Campfire lunch will be served.
