I'm curious as to where the "Old Iditarod Trail" used to go? I don't really see any obvious way through those hills.
I pulled up the USGS Topo for that area and this is what it shows. The yellow is the route the others too. The red line is what this group took (the blue line is an alternate winter trail, but I don't see a way for the red line to join the blue very easily).
Were they supposed to be on the trail on land (as opposed to out on the ice) and missed a marker and headed up that hill thinking that was the hill further along the trail?
