Default Nice NYT article on vacationing with dogs

[]
It's centered around adventure vacations (hiking, canoeing,
skijoring), and mentions several travel agencies that
specialize in vacations with dogs.

In just the latest twist on the billions spent on
adventure travel, a growing number of pet-friendly
travel outfitters are offering everything from winter
hiking jaunts in the Catskill Mountains of New York to
tubing trips down the Yampa River in Colorado. Dog
Paddling Adventures, a Canadian company offering
cross-country skiing, hiking and canoeing expeditions
for pets and their owners, says its business has
quadrupled since it opened in 2000. One outfitter even
plans to offer a $4,000 dog hike from Aspen to Crested
Butte, Colo., with a stay in a luxury inn and the return
trip in a chartered plane.

Cool - I'll have to pass this along to my SIL and brother who
run an adventure tour company.

Cool! My eyes were opened to the fun of this when we took Orson on a day-
long canoe trip in Algonquin Provincial Park. We had to take a water taxi
to get to the drop-off point. He hated all of it except the swimming and
the lifejacket for deep water, but I enjoyed trying to get him used to the
whole idea.
