Spring is in the air! The light is back! A little melting of snow on the hot tub cover made this little chickadee’s (and my) day! First bath of the season is always a ton of fun!

Protracted snow-free conditions on the north side of the Alaska Range led to the decision to relocate the start for just the fourth time in the race’s history.

A great picture of Leroy from a recent tour! This little guy isn't so little anymore, only 8 months old, he's almost as big as his mama.

Close up of Stella Luna's eye! Reindeers eyes are wide set, like many prey animals, meaning they have an extremely wide range of vision. Reindeer eyes have a ton of other unique adaptations that make them amazing arctic animals! Join us on a tour to learn more about their eyes, noses, fur, antlers and more!

Juniper is our beloved naughty sister at the ranch, but so far, her son Leroy has been an absolute sweetheart! Do you think Leroy will stay on the nice list, or do you think he'll end up causing mischief like his sweet mom Juniper?!
