Day 4
Yellowknife
Have a hearty breakfast this morning, you have a full day of activities! This morning we head out for a traditional Dog Sledding experience. You will get to meet the northern dogs and then depart with a guide on a toboggan pulled by 12-14 dogs. Your guide will take you through the snowy and scenic landscape. Don't worry you will remain warm with blankets in your toboggan.
After experiencing the thrill of dog mushing we will take you snowmobiling - you are the driver! Learn the basic safety and operating instructions and then depart into the back country wilderness. We stop along the way and take photos of breathtaking scenery, and play on Yellowknife's pristine frozen lakes as you get to know the "wild side" of this country.
With a full day of activity, you have lots to share with your fellow travelers at your farewell dinner. Our last opportunity to view the Aurora Borealis is tonight and we will depart after dinner.
