This one could go in Canada, as well, because the trail is a 1,000 mile winter route that goes between Whitehorse, Yukon Territory, Canada and Fairbanks, Alaska, USA. It is used every February in the Yukon Quest sled dog race and the eastern/Canadian side is used every February in the Yukon Arctic Ultra foot (and ski or bike) race. It is a winter trail put in each year, with occasional sectional reroutes/diversions due to safety, dependent on weather conditions that year (e.g., jumble ice, open water on rivers).
