The sport of canoeing is something that requires both physical stamina and mental agility. You can practice sharpening both skills required for this fun sport when you take to the water at Wooden Canoe Lake. The water is always inviting and proves to be the perfect place for beginners to get acquainted with the sport or for more seasoned paddlers to practice and maintain their level of performance.
Of all the traditions that are still honored in Alaska, the Yukon Quest Dog Sled Race is one that is as challenging as it is enduring. This is a 1,000 mile international trek that takes place “at the top of the world” in the Yukon and Alaska wilderness of northwestern North America. Held every February, the race runs its course starting from either Whitehorse, Yukon, or Fairbanks, Alaska. To say that undertaking this race is a test of skill and fortitude is an understatement. Despite the bitterly cold conditions, participants and spectators alike respectfully acknowledge Alaska's time-tested tradition of traveling by dog sled.
