There are few things in the world that would make me brave sub-zero temperatures - dog sledding happens to be one of them. This pack of runners @banff.national.park just made my day! Alaskan huskies have been traditionally bred for snow transportation. Today there is little need for that but their traits remain; they are muscular, energetic, and enthusiastic to run in the snow. Our tour with the #kingmikdogsledtours company was about 90 min through the wilderness into The Great Divide near Lake Louise - a great way to explore lonesome nature trails. There's also time before and after the tour to bond with the dogs; don't go by their "we mean business" look when they are attached to the sled. They are completely goofy and cuddly like any other dog once off the sled. The extra dog-time is not just for photo ops but a way to start looking early on for a good home for the dogs-- many of them are up for adoption once they retire from running. #dogsledding #huskies #alaskanhuskies #canada #travelguide #adventuretravel #banffnationalpark #banff #alberta #dogsofinstagram #banffinwinter #canadawinter #thegreatdivide #lakelouisecanada #chateaulakelouise

Spectacular views from top of the sulphur mountain in Banff National park on a clear day. The town of Banff can be seen snuggled between the mountains in the center (spot the Fairmont!). This is a pretty good 2-3 hr activity: the summit is easy to access with a ~10 min gondola ride (base station is located just 15 min from downtown). Visitors may choose to enjoy the amazing view from the observation deck or ascend the stairway to higher vista points. Best way to complete the experience- warm up with a hot coffee at the indoor cafe after braving the cold. #banff #canada #banffnationalpark #sulphurmountain #mountainscapes #snowtown #travelling

Dubrovnik in a nutshell: This walled city in Croatia is perched on the Adriatic coast- a prime location that made Dubrovnik the only threat to Venetian trade a few centuries ago. Today, Dubrovnik is a great mix of old city charm with modern day amenities, restaurants with amazing views, prime Game of Thrones shooting locations (and souvenier shops), many many stairs and perhaps even more stray cats. #dubrovnik #europetravel #croatiatravel #croatia

Bells go off in "King's Landing"...This feels like calm before the Drogon-storm. #dubrovnik #gameofthrones #croatia🇭🇷 #travelgram #fireandblood
