Why Book with Us? - We have been associated with the Iditarod Sled Dog Race for over 30 years and have a wealth of knowledge and experience about the race that we share with our clients. In 1996 I started bringing clients out to McGrath to share in the excitement of the Iditarod Sled Dog Race and have gradually expanded our tour listings to offer the most comprehensive selection of Iditarod Race Tours available. We have developed strong working relationships with the vendors we do business with and only work with the best to insure the tours run smoothly. Our business relies on your satisfaction. Over the years we have spent many hours running dog teams and snowmobiles along the Iditarod trail and have 1st hand experience of what it means to live in that land. When we travel to Nikolai, McGrath and Takotna you are in my home area and the communities make sure my clients have a great time. You won't find a more knowledgeable, or experienced, Iditarod Race tour company than ours. I hope you will join us.

Rich Montagna - Owner and Lead Tour Guide: I moved to Alaska in 1977 to pursue my love of the great outdoors and graduated from the University of Alaska Fairbanks with a degree in Natural Resource Management and a minor in Outdoor Recreation Management. After graduating I worked in the recreation and land management fields with Alaska State Parks, the Department of Natural Resources and several Native organizations. I also developed a passion for photography and spent much of my time traveling around the state photographing landscapes and interesting people I met. My landscapes and portraits have been displayed in the Anchorage Museum of History, the Alaska State Museum and numerous smaller museums and galleries in Alaska and British Columbia.

In 1984 I moved to the village of McGrath to work with one of the Native organizations there. I built my log home there and now split my time between McGrath and coastal British Columbia. When I'm not leading the tours, I run a commercial photography business and spend a lot of time hiking and paddling kayaks, dragon boats and outrigger canoes.

Peter Schniederheinze- Tour Guide: About the same time I moved to Alaska, Peter was on vacation in Majorca with his bicycle team and met a young lady from Anchorage, Alaska. She followed him back to Berlin and 5 years later they moved to Alaska and out to McGrath. Another 30 year veteran of life in "Bush Alaska", Peter brings a wealth of knowledge and experience about the Iditarod Race and life along the Iditarod trail. Peter also hosts the McGrath checkpoint for the "Alaska Ultrasport Race" from Willow to McGrath by foot, bicycle or skiis. The racers will be arriving in McGrath during our stay there and you will have the opportunity to meet with athletes and hear about their adventures along the trail.
