2022 Pedigree Stage Stop Race
Kendall Valley resident Rob Tolley took this picture of a sled dog team racing in the Lander Stage leg of the Pedigree Sled Dog Race on Sunday morning, January 30th. The Lander leg got moved to the Upper Green due to lack of snow at South Pass. The teams will race in the Upper Green again on Monday morning for the Pinedale leg of the race.
