Looking for fun in the snow? Tired of skiing and snowboarding?

Try a dog sledding adventure through Cariboo Chilcotin. The Cariboo Chilcotin Mountains lie in central British Columbia (Canada), just east of the Pacific Ocean and has a wide contrast of land, including rolling grass lands, dense forests, snow capped mountains, and swift running rivers.

This stretch of Canada's westcoast in British Columbia will leave you breath-taken and eager for more adventure in the snow. For winter time, you can try backcountry skiing, dog sledding, downhill skiing and snowboarding, heli skiing, ice fishing, snowmobiling, snowshoeing, and cross country skiing.

Harness the Power and Ride the Spirit at The Wolf Den at Nakitsilik

Ready to go!The Wolf Den is also known as Nakitsilik Outdoors Adventures. This is the area's only professional dog sled touring company and their fame precedes them: their sled dogs are often used in big picture films, like "Snow Dogs" in 2002.

At the Wolf Den, you'll learn what goes into the training, caring, and running of the dogs for dog-sledding. You'll also learn how to handle a dog sled, and will be given the chance to test your knowledge and skill while being led on a trail through Moose Valley Provincial Park.

With 160 acres of property and hundreds of miles of trails, the Wolf Den offers half day, full day, and multi day excursions. For half day drips, there is a couple's rate at $190 per person for a 20km tour and a singles rate for $250 per person. For a full day 30km tour including lunch goes for a couple's rate of $290 and singles rate for $350.

Customized packages are also available depending on budget. One of their top tours is the 10 day Spirit of the Gold Rush adventure tour taking you through the route of the Gold Rush Seekers from centuries ago - all via dog sled. This 10 day tour is priced at $3500 CDN per person.

Accommodations and meals are included and available for most packages through Nakitsilik for all interested and adventurous participants!
