Iditarod National Historic Trail

The Iditarod National Historic Trail, a network of over 2,000 miles (3,218 kilometers) of trails, once connected Alaskan Native villages and served as a vital supply route during the Alaska Gold Rush. Stretching from Seward to Nome, this historic trail system winds through diverse landscapes, offering a glimpse into the region’s rich past. Today, visitors can explore the trail for outdoor recreation, and it remains famous as the route of the annual Iditarod Trail Sled Dog Race, a testament to its enduring significance.
