The Husky Homestead just outside of Denali National Park is the home base for four time Iditarod winner Jeff King. We visited here on our first night in Denali. They talked about raising the dogs and demonstrated their training routine. Afterwards we went inside and Jeff talked about what it's like to ride a dog sled 1100 miles. Along with racing in 11 Iditerods (Anchorage to Nome, Alaska) and winning 4, Jeff has more than a dozen other wins to his credit, including the Yukon Quest, another 1100 mile race from Fairbanks, Alaska to Whitehorse, Yukon, Canada.
