Gila 100
Like most wilderness areas, there isn't a bad time to visit. But avoiding some of the busy trailheads during the fall hunting season isn't a bad idea.

History Found In the Field

Iditarod 2023
A lot of changes with the Iditarod in recent years with dropped sponsors, COVID, etc. But good to see it still going. My wife volunteers at a check point usually every other year. Always fun to watch the strategy unfold.- Kaitum
