Aliy took several short videos during her nine days on the Iditarod trail. This is the third-to-last video in this year’s series. We hope you have been enjoying them over the last few weeks.
This video is the final climb up Topkok Mountain and the summit. The team in order is: Chipper & Dutch (lead), Five & Driver, Spark & Violet, Clyde & Rodney, Nomex (wheel) and Aliy.
Amazing! That’s such gorgeous scenery! 🏔 That’s wonderful to make it from Anchorage to Alaska’s West Coast by sled dog team! Great job!
For some reason, this post brought tears to my eyes. I don’t know why. I have watched your crest that climb several times over the years via the Tracker, but maybe hearing your elation and joy at hitting the final stretch did it.
Awesome doggies – grinding up that hill that doesn’t seem to end…and then, as Aliy says, here is the ocean and effectively the end of the cross-AK trek.
And I can’t think of any nicer-looking weather for it, either!!!
SP Kennel is the best.
Thanks so very very much for this video!!!
You made it! Whoo hooo Good Dogs!
Aliy, I hope you enjoy watching these half as much as we do!

Awesome teamwork Chipper, Dutch, Five, Driver, Spark, VIOLET, Clyde, Rodney, Nomex and Aliy!!!!
