Dog sledding in New Hampshire is a great winter adventure

For everyone who has commanded their mutt to ‘Mush’ only to get a bored look in return this is your opportunity to take a canine thrill ride. Not only will you get an actual ride, which is not as easy as it looks in the movies, but you’ll learn about the dogs, sleds and other details from the musher.
