There’s just something about Alaska days like this!
Standing in the cold with a crowd of excited people… kids laughing… dogs barking with pure excitement… and then suddenly the mushers take off down the trail.
Watching the teams leave the start of the legendary Iditarod Trail Sled Dog Race reminds you how special this place really is. The history, the grit, the incredible dogs, and the families all out there cheering them on.
The kids loved every second of it — from seeing sled dogs to cheering as the teams flew by. Days like this are the ones they’ll remember when they think about growing up in Alaska.
