So I'm sure by now you are thinking:
This is Maryland, what if there is no snow? Temperatures
permitting, even when there is no snow, we can
still go. When not running on snow, which is much
of the time here in central Maryland, we dog sled
using our three wheel and four wheel dog
sled rigs (click for picture). In mushing,
a wheeled cart used for dog sledding when there
is no snow is called a “rig” or a “gig.” Our larger
rig allows us to carry a passenger seated on dog
sledding tours and dog sled rides. The larger
rig can be seen in our dog
sledding gallery, which has pictures from
recent programs. |

sledding on snow through the scenic north Maine
woods? If so, check out our special women's only
Maine Winter Cabin
Adventure and then email Catherine
