Jennifer and Jamie are swooshing through Algonquin Park, Ontario's oldest and largest provincial park! After cross-country skiing along one of the many trails flanked by the Canadian Shield, Jamie and Jennifer meet up with 13-year-old Sarah Gunter for some dog-sledding! Our CG-ers try not to make mush ado about nothing as they learn how to steer a rowdy pack of dogs and a wobbly sled over the snowy hills of the park! After the ride, Jennifer and Jamie meet up with Algonquin's Chief Park Naturalist, Rick Stronks. Rick and our adventurers head out on snowshoes, where they learn to feed Gray Jay birds right out of the palms of their hands! They also participate in Algonquin's famous "wolf howl", and camp out in a semi-permanent winter tent called a "yurt". Later, Jennifer and Jamie travel just outside of Algonquin Park to Bancroft, the mineral capital of Canada! Mineral buff Chris Fouts teaches them how to scour the area for interesting mineral samples, including fluorescents that glow in the dark! It's a dog-sledding, wolf howling, and mineral mining adventure worth strapping on your snowshoes for, in this episode of CG Kids!
