Dogsledding is something you should try if you’re in Alberta in the winter. Definitely an experience and helps you put into perspective how hard it was to travel in the North before snowmobiles. You can see how excited the dogs are to get going. When they are attached to the sled they can’t wait to get going, tails wagging the entire time.
