Whoever says that history isn't dramatic has never set foot in the Pioneer Museum and The Big Stampede in Fairbanks. This is a truly unique venue that spotlights various aspects of life in what was once frontier Alaska. See where Sourdoughs carved their means of livelihood in unexpected places throughout the cold wilderness.

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.
