Beginning in Anchorage, the Iditarod Trail Sled Dog
Race follows over 1,000 miles of historic trade paths through ghost
towns and isolated Native villages to the legendary city of Nome.
The Race is one of the few world-class sporting events
where you can get consistently close to the action and even interact
with the competitors.
Leaders of Iditarod Trail tours since 1993, Sky Trekking
Alaska pilot/guides use ski planes to fly small groups of guests over
and along the Iditarod trail, going from checkpoint-to-checkpoint, observing
the race up close and as it happens. View the individual itineraries
to get an idea of the many checkpoints we will visit.
These Treks are expeditions in the classic sense.
The focus and pace is upon the sled dog race, but the overall experience
gives a person a rich and detailed look at Alaska and its people.
On an Iditarod Sky Trek you will have the opportunity to participate
in numerous activities, including hands-on experience handling and mushing
a dog team, fishing through the ice, driving a snowmobile, cross-country
skiing, and snowshoeing. You will meet the interesting residents of
rural Alaska including Eskimo village residents and artisans while witnessing
a vanishing way of life. Daily flight seeing is a matter of course,
and the Expedition and Start Treks include a grand tour around the highest
peak in North America, Mount McKinley
While other Sky Treks are designed for the participation
of private groups, the Iditarod Sky Treks are designed for the participation
of mixed groups within small, guided parties.
