The Iditarod Trail Sled Dog Race is a celebration of sled dogs, including some that won’t actually be running the entire race. That includes a team of eight dogs from Denali National Park.
ANCHORAGE, Alaska -
“We first acquired those first seven dogs in 1922 to patrol the park and establish the park back then,” said Ranger David Tomeo. “And here it is, 100 years later, we still have dogs, we are still using them in the park as working animals in the park.” “One of the reasons that we still have working dogs in Denali is because we have 2 million acres of designated wilderness,” Tomeo said. “And that is an area where we don’t go in by snowmachine or snowcat, so how do we get out there? You get out there by ski or by dog sled.”
