Rainy Pass is often where the start of the race ends, and teams begin to settle down into a race schedule.\u00a0 Jeff rested in Rainy Pass for almost 5.5 hours and from here, Jeff and the team will begin climbing up to the top of Rainy Pass and climb over the Alaska Range.\u00a0 The highest point on the trail here is 3,160 feet above sea level.\u00a0 From that top point, teams make their way down through the Dalzell Gorge.\u00a0 Trail conditions are reportedly pretty good this year, with good snow cover and ice on the creek, but back in 2014 it was a different story – check out the video that he took with his Go Pro that year:<\/p>\n
