This is Winner Creek, a gorgeous rushing river with an outstanding trail following it's path. The trail is wide with either gravel or wood chips. Lots of tourists use the trail because it is right in front of the Alyeska Resort which draws people from the cruise boats. In the middle of the trail is a hand tram to get across the gorge and it's excellent fun! Again - I only had 2 hours between sessions at the conference so I hiked as fast as possible. When I got to the hand tram, one of our presenters was there wondering how to use the thing. We rode together across and then huffed it as fast as possible to get back. A really nice local couple steered us on the shortest paths and told us there is a shuttle bus that picks people up at one of the parking areas to get back to the lodge. This was relieving news but by the time we found the shuttle we were almost back. I figure we hiked about 6 - 7 miles. We did catch the shuttle and we were back in time.
