From Tim Bodony of KIYU Galena
The river trail is open and marked from Galena all the way down to Kaltag. Ruby Search and Rescue marked the section from Ruby to the mouth of the Yuki River around the beginning of January. The river trail from Yuki to Galena is put in, but needs trail markers. Trail conditions are better than average, and certainly better than last year, and more snow is falling this week (Jan 14-18).

Nome to Kaltag
Average trail conditions. Minimal snow from Island Point-Old Woman. Norton Sound bay trail is approx two miles off shore and new young ice between Koyuk and Island Point since I was last there. With Weather conditions cold……the ice should be ok now. Elim- Walla-Walla ice should be good now….I took the back route. (per Evan Booth)
