Checkpoint: Rainy Pass
Tucked away in the Alaska Range, on Puntilla lake, and the views don't get old. This location is also a favorite amongst spectators hoping to fly in and enjoy watching the race. There's a small family owned lodge and a handful of cabins here that share a great story through photographs alone. 822 miles from Nome.
