After a fireside lunch, we will then return to the trail in order to discover further peaceful realms, those small, secluded spots whose existence is known only by the woodsmen and the mushers. It's then time to return to the kennel where you'll say goodbye to your dogs. Back at the Adventure Center at the end of the day, you'll take advantage of a farewell dinner during which you'll have the opportunity to discuss about your adventures before the transfer to Montreal .
