The Kaltag to Nome section of the Iditarod National Historic Trail crosses lands owned by several entites. Possible land owners include Native Corporations, municipal governments, and the State of Alaska as well as federal lands managed by the BLM, the U.S. Forest Service, the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service, and the Department of Defense. There are 10 institutional land managers across the entire trail, and numerous private owners. Please be careful as not to trespass on private land.
