Taking the Alyeska Aerial Tram To the Top o Mount Alyeska in Girdwood, Alaska

We are going to the Alyeska
Resort in Girdwood to ride
an aerial tram up the top of
Mount Alyeska.

We are using a coupon from the

Alaska Tour Saver Book.

Our $99.00 investment has more

 than paid for itself & allowed us

 to expand our touring options.

The cost of the aerial tram ride
is $25.00 per person.

We purchased one ticket &
got the the second one free.





The tram ascends 2,300 feet to the top of Mount Alyeska.

I don't see any dangling wires...

Let's get on the tram.

We are under loaded with 

16 passengers & the tram 

car operator.

The Alyeska Hotel & Tram House

from the rear of  the tram.

This is the zigzag trail that hikers
use to climb the mountain.

We approach The Round House

& the ski lift.

The ski lift is used to bring staff

to the top of the mountain.

At the top of Mount Alyeska are two restaurants and the Round House Gift Shop and hiking trails.

Turnagain Arm lies below.

Hikers should report unexploded

artillery shells to the staff.

During the winter months, explosions are set off to cause controlled avalanches on the mountainside.  Not every shell that is set up explodes. 

After returning to the Tramway Station and walking the grounds, Eric and I make a discovery.

A small helicopter in a small
clearing starts its engine &
prepares to take off.
