Oh, what a glorious day it was today! Blue skies and sunshine, as we headed to the Kenai Peninsula. The view driving south was so incredible! We stopped in Girdwood, a ski resort town, in the Chugach Mountains. They have a cool tram that will take you to the top of the mountain, but we planned to do the Winner Creek hike(5 miles roundtrip). Our kids were so excited because there is a hand tram across a gorge at mile 2.5(turn around point). Unfortunately, when we got there, we found out that it was not working. Darn! The hiking trail winded its way through a rainforest littered with old growth spruce/hemlock and lush green ferns. Kane and Scott had fun climbing down into the Winner Creek Gorge with the thundering creek forging its way through the rocky chasm next to them. Kids had fun climbing on trees, into trees, running, dancing and just being silly! Priceless day!!
