Photos: Cim Smyth and Bruce Linton

Cim Smyth and Bruce Linton were two of the many Iditarod mushers who reached the finish line on Wednesday: in 23rd and 25th places, respectively.

Smyth and Linton both finished in the evening, mushing the few last miles of the trail as the sun set. We grabbed a few photos of the veteran mushers as they ran their teams towards Nome; it was truly a beautiful scene:
