Tuesday, March 12 – Josh and I drove up to Haliburton Forest for this fantastic experience! We arrived on Monday around 4pm for the skies to open up into a torrential downpour. The weather squashed our plans for some winter hiking but didn’t dampen our dog sledding mood. On Tuesday morning, we met the dogs, harnessed in and on we went. The dogs responded to such calls as “whoa” to warn of a slowdown coming, “hike” to get moving and “hey, stop it” for when the fights broke out while we were standing still. It was a very fun and peaceful experience – the dogs were very quiet once we got moving – and we only dumped our sled once! After the tour was over we were able to go into the dog enclosure and see the other dogs. Haliburton Forest has 150 Husky-type sled dogs for the dog sledding tours. Lastly, we went to the Wolf Centre to see some of the wild Timber wolves they have in their enclosure.
