Once the largest city in Alaska, Nome attracted pioneers from miles around during the gold rush. The legacy of the Alaska Gold Rush remains today, adding a colorful chapter to Nome's 100-year history. The city is now the commercial hub of northwestern Alaska, as well as the site for the finish of the 1,049-mile Iditarod Trail Sled Dog Race from Anchorage each March. Surrounded by wilderness and unabashed beauty, Nome attracts visitors each year by offering trophy salmon fishing, gold mining tours and spectacular views of the Auroras Borealis (Northern Lights).
