Winner Creek Trail

My friend Cherie and I went to Girdwood today to hike Winner Creek Trail.

It was a beautiful day!  It was good to get outside and enjoy the sun!  We have had clouds and rain for a week or so...

The trailhead is behind the Hotel Alyeska.


The trail is fairly easy.  There were some tricky snowy parts, but we survived!  It's a beautiful place.  There were are a TON of mosquitos though!  I think I only got bit once.  The key was to keep moving!!!

The turn around point for the trail is a hand tram.  But it wasn't open.  Sad!  (It wasn't a surprise though.  There was a sign at the very beginning that said it was closed.  We went anyway.)

Me and some random dude...
Right before you get to the hand tram you cross a bridge over Winner Creek Gorge.  It was so pretty!  I couldn't believe how powder blue the water was...I probably could have stayed there all day and stared at it.
