The winter in New Hampshire is long and cold. There’s no denying that. But, there are so many fun things to do that it’s almost forgivable. Between snowshoeing, cross-country skiing, and unique activities like horse-drawn sled rides, the colder months can actually be downright lovable. But, as much as we can find a way to love the winter, we do appreciate sun and warm breezes. If there were a way to combine the cold-weather activities we love with the weather we prefer, life would be grand! Or maybe it already is. We recently came across a summer activity we thought was reserved for snow. And, well, it’s a real New Hampshire adventure!

You can't go wrong spending a day with dogs! And that's exactly what you'll do when you visit Dog Sled NH!
