Winner Creek Trail

The Winner Creek Trail was another must-do things on our Alaska trip.  It was something I did years ago and showed the kids pictures of so they have wanted to go here for a very long time.  There is a cool hand tram at the end that is what they really wanted to do.  Unfortunately the tram was closed, they had a sign at the start of the trail.  We were disappointed, but it was still a good fun hike and we made the most of it.

There were blueberries all along the trail.  The kids loved picking and eating them all, but they were getting a little bit slow.  We turned it into a game by saying that if Bob or I touched them then they had to give us some of the berries they had picked.  

In this next picture you can see the kids blue smiles.  I guess Calista watched me take this and insisted of doing her own.  I just thought she really wanted out of the carrier, but once she got out she promptly sat in the same exact pose and smiled.

This hike has a really pretty river toward the end.

It was after seven when we got back to the start of the hike.  It actually started behind a hotel, so we went in near the gift shop and used the rest room.  We were exhausted after our two hikes in one day and all legs were getting sore.

It was about 11pm by the time we had dinner, which was the second night in a row we had pizza.

Papa Murphy's stuffed pizza is something we have been missing since we moved to Japan.  We made sure we got some on the trip.  It was delicious!

And off to bed.
