Boundary Waters Snowshoe Expedition 7-Day

Join us for a full week-long snowshoeing expedition following a historic route through the vast Boundary Waters Canoe Area in Northern Minnesota. We follow in the footsteps of the early fur trade trappers by means of snowshoe and toboggan during the day and sleep in traditional canvas “hot tents” at night. We use wood burning stoves to warm the tent, cook meals, and dry clothes each night. Even if the temperature drops to -40F outside, we can be comfortable with light layers in the tent. Local wildlife includes moose, otters, wolves, beavers, eagles, lynx, and more.

Our winter expeditions are fun and challenging. You will certainly hone your skills for extended travel in extreme cold and deep snow conditions. Some of these skills include:

• Dressing appropriately for conditions

• Maintaining proper nutrition and hydration

• Managing thermoregulation

• Selecting, harvesting, and processing firewood
