Iditarod Trail
Historic trail in Alaska
The Iditarod Trail is a historic trail that connects Seward, Alaska with Nome, Alaska and the rest of the Seward Peninsula. In winter, it is navigable by dogsled or snowmobile. In summer, segments of the trail can be hiked, while many sections are barely usable. Rivers are used for inter-village transportation instead.
According to the Bureau of Land Management, which maintains parts of the trail, "the Trail demands a high degree of self-reliance by the user, proficiency in extreme winter camping and travel by ski, dog team, snowmobile, or fat tire bike."
