Kaltag Iditarod Checkpoint #16
Today the population of Kaltag is 200. Forty-five students attend the Kaltag School in grades Pre-K through 12. Subsistence is a way of life for the villagers. Folks fish, hunt and gather. Abundant area resources include salmon, whitefish, waterfowl, moose, bear and berries. Some people in the village have cash jobs with the school, tribe and local government. Others work as fire fighters or in the commercial fishing industry. There are no roads connecting Kaltag to other villages, but people travel locally by ATV, snowmachine or boat. Kaltag has year-round air service and barges deliver heavy cargo three times a year. Temperature extremes in Kaltag have been recorded from 55 degrees below zero up to 90 degrees. Otherwise, highs in July will be in the 70’s and lows for January will range from 10 degrees to well below zero. Annual precipitation is 16 inches with just over 6 feet of snow expected each year. The river is open from mid-May to mid-October.
