Winner Creek Hike

At the suggestion of a local we took the boys on a hike called Winner Creek at the Alyeska Ski Resort near Girdwood. It was a winner! The round trip was a little over four miles (our current distance limit on most adventures with the boys). The hike was a rolling, well groomed trail through the temperate rain forest that led to a beautiful gorge with a hand tram fixed across it. Jackson did great crossing the gorge with dad although he shows signs of a mild fear of heights. Asa was all for it, saying "cool" and "awesome" the whole way across with mom. We made lots of stops for looking at the mushrooms which were in their glory. Asa even found a purple, yes purple, one.
