Winner Creek Trail

Mike is back in the Aleutians for a couple of weeks but before he left we got in a lot more fishing and some nice hikes. Winner Creek Trail is part of the famous Iditarod Trail and has a hand-tram that crosses the Winner Creek Gorge. We’d tried to do this hike before but there were so many people waiting to use the tram we turned back. This time we went on a weekday and were able to make the crossing without having to wait. At the end of the trail is the Alyeska Resort, so lunch was waiting for us. People treat the hand tram more like a ride than a mode of transportation with everyone asking “Have you gone yet?”.
