Boundary Waters Snowshoe Expedition 9-Day

Join us for a week-long traditional snowshoe expedition following an 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 a fun and challenging experience for the hardy individuals who love winter. Working and living in the cold for extended periods requires good teamwork and a variety of skills including:

• Dressing appropriately for conditions

• Maintaining proper nutrition and hydration

• Selecting, harvesting, and processing firewood

• Using snowshoes
