Unalakleet
Unalakleet, a city
nestled on the shores of the Norton Sound, boasts a
unique blend of Alaskan culture and natural beauty. This community thrives on fishing and
hunting, with residents harvesting salmon, king
crab, caribou, and various other wild game that form a
staple of their diet.
Unalakleet's main attraction is
arguably its namesake river. The Unalakleet River not only
teems with fish, but also serves as a checkpoint for the legendary Iditarod Trail Sled Dog Race and the Iron Dog
Snowmobile Race, two iconic Alaskan winter
competitions. Adventure seekers can immerse themselves in the wilderness at the
Unalakleet River Lodge, an all-inclusive retreat
offering cozy cabins, delicious meals, and guided fishing expeditions. Foodies
can indulge in traditional Alaskan salmon feasts prepared by
local chefs, or unwind with signature cocktails at the Unalakleet
River Lodge's bar. While
shopping choices are limited to a handful of small stores, Unalakleet offers a
taste of authentic Alaskan life.
