Nome - best known today as the finish line for the 1,049-mile Iditarod Trail Sled Dog Race. The race begins the first Saturday in March in Anchorage, and the first dog teams begin arriving in Nome as soon as eight days later. Nome's Iditarod Festival begins a week after the start and continues as all of the mushers make their way in. The finish line of the Iditarod is located on Front Street. You will be there cheering as they make their way to the burled arch in its ceremonial spot over the road. Come experience the "Mardi Gras of the North" for yourself!

We had a trip of a lifetime! Traveled 7 nights and stayed at a remote cabin in The Chugach National Forrest that was remote, accessible by float plane. We used Rusts Flying service to fly us in and out of the cabin and then also to Cresent Lake in the Lake Clark National Park by float plane.
— Lori R.Everything went just as planed. Ever thing was first class. GREAT JOB VIKING Most enjoyable stay at Grand View B & B Wrangell. Ferryboat was different but enjoyable. Maura was on top of everything for the whole trip. WILL BOOK MY NEXT TRIP WITH THEM
— Gail G.With our input, Viking Travel planned everything for us making it so easy. Our stay at Glacier Bay Lodge was magnificent as was our catamaran cruise on Glacier Bay and our guided bear excursion which included a spectacular floatplane ride. Itinerary was very easy follow. We had an incredible time!
