Winter brings with it our fair share of snow and cold days, especially in Pennsylvania. However, winter also promises plenty of adventures that we can really only experience with snow on the ground - snow tubing, skiing, and snowshoeing. If you're up for a really unique winter adventure, make reservations to go dog sledding in Pennsylvania.
The Shawnee Inn and Golf Resort, in Pocono Manor, provides a picture-perfect backdrop for a winter getaway. However, if you've only got a day to spare and have a thirst for adventure, you're in luck.
Plan a visit to the resort that's home to Arctic Paws Dog Sled Tours, which provides the unique opportunity for guests to go dog sledding.
Dog sledding is much more than just sitting back and enjoying the ride. You will, in fact, get a good workout, with Arctic Paws comparing dog sledding to mountain bike riding.
Good news! Arctic Paws offers its dog sledding adventures even when there's no snow on the ground.
Join Arctic Paws for a snow or a NO SNOW tour. Before your adventure begins, you'll receive instruction on mushing. (Instructors will be with you for your entire tour.)
You'll have the unique opportunity to meet the team of Alaskan and Siberian Huskies. Make sure, however, that you dress appropriately for the tour. Arctic Paws recommends wearing a coat, gloves, a hat, and even goggles.
Don't forget to bring your camera, so you can take photographs. A professional photographer will also be on hand to capture memorable moments from your tour.
You can purchase a professional photography package, from Inner Heart Photography. Each package features three digital photos.
If you're staying at the hotel, your tour will cost slightly less than if you're a non-guest. Either way, you'll pay a non-refundable booking fee. A $25 fee is added if you need to change the time or the date of your tour.
Bringing the kiddos along? Arctic Paws Dog Sled Tours welcomes guests 10 years and older.
Embark on a one-of-a-kind winter adventure with Arctic Paws Dog Sled Tours, which is generally open seasonally from mid-December through late February.
Find this season's dates, exact pricing, and more on the Arctic Paws Dog Sled Tours website. Or, stop by its Facebook page.
