Tucked between two lovely lakes – Wasilla and Lucille – the town of Wasilla was founded as a supply base for gold and coal mining in the region. It also became famous as the HQ of the Iditarod Trail Sled Dog Race and now has a small museum dedicated to the long-distance mushing event. The scenery is spectacular too: homes occupy enviable spots along the forested shoreline, while the Chugach and Talkeetna mountains shelter the town and paint reflections in its waters.
