Rainy Pass Checkpoint
Source Iditarod Trail Committee: [Talkeetna Air Taxi] What happens at Rainy Pass Checkpoint – Iditarod Trail? Here, nestled between mountain peaks, sits Pontilla lake – a large frozen expanse that’s perfect for landing ski-planes. Above the shoreline to the east is a small sprawl of wooden cabins called Rainy Pass Lodge, our hosts for Iditarod.
