If you guessed a few days ago—you are correct! It still looks like winter in some areas in Denali right now. We’re actually skiing to scout some of our summer area routes. As always, we are ready to adapt to whatever Mother Nature decides to throw our way and have a great time outside (even if it means using our winter gear for getting around!).

If you’re coming to Denali in the early season—prepare for there to be snow!

Weeks after the Iditarod red lantern musher crosse Weeks after the Iditarod red lantern musher crossed the finish line, Joe is still hard at work wrapping up the logistics of the 1,000-mile sled dog race across Alaska.
With 22 checkpoints traveling through extremely remote areas of Alaska, the logistics consistently present challenges, however he handles each obstacle in a calm, laid-back demeanor. This is his 4th year operating the logistics for the race. 
Needless to say, we are fortunate to have Joe’s expertise and dedication on the Traverse Alaska team!
