Fantastic organization! My husband and I have taken the Premier Yurt Trip 3 times had a fantastic time each trip. The dogs are amazing and the BWCA is wilderness at it's best. The experience is very empowering and enriching. Theo our guide is exceptional. We are looking forward to our next trip in February 2013. More

Can't recommend this trip enough. If you are looking for an adventure that gets better in the telling the more you talk about it, this is the trip for you. Camping out on the frozen lakes for 5 days learning how to adapt to the cold environment while enjoying the beauty of the boundary waters is just the beginning. The... More

The perfect winter experience with eager dogs, great guides, good food, miles and miles of snow covered trails in Minnesota's far north wilderness. Definitely recommended for hands-on outdoor adventurers, first timers as well as experienced mushers, to enjoy. More

While the dogs may have liked it a little colder, we were fortunate to have had a beautiful day with the trees looking as if they had been artistically painted in snow. It truly was a postcard scene at every turn, on every trail. We did a Premier Day Trip, out for about six hours with an hour lunch break... More

We had a great weekend - guides were fantastic at explaining tasks, answering questions, tailoring the experience to our comfort level, but still making sure were involved in the full experience (from prepping equipment to riding the trails and setting up camp). A great team-building experience I would highly recommend to anyone! More

Spend a few days traversing the frozen wilderness with the coolest dogs you've ever met (and some great guides)! Went here with a group of friends for a weekend trip. It was incredible, unforgettable, and amazing. The guides set a great trip, made sure everything from trails to gear and food was set up, and did a great job getting... More

Our recent White Wilderness Winter Odyssey was a true adventure. We loved it! It was so much fun, one of the coolest things we have ever done. It was a trip of a lifetime and we are already planning another. [The Winter Odyssy was 5 nights and 4 days mushing...only the first day was a day trip.] I'll begin with... More

Here is an ode I wrote (inspired by Robert Service). We have an empty house for Christmas So from our home we fled. We wanted an adventure With some Huskies and a sled. We... More

I am planning my 4th trip to White Wilderness in January 2012-so that says something! I have never done a day trip but have met people who have and they had a great time. I have been on the yurt trip and my two other trips were lodge based. We travel through the Superior National Forest and the scenery is... More
