Winner Creek Hand Tram, Aerial tramway in Girdwood, Anchorage, US.
The Winner Creek Hand Tram consists of a metal cage suspended by cables across a deep gorge, enabling visitors to cross Glacier Creek.
The construction of this manual transportation system in 1999 provided essential access to the Winner Creek Trail network in the Chugach Mountains.
The hand tram represents an Alaskan approach to outdoor recreation, combining physical effort with wilderness exploration in the northernmost rainforest of North America.
The tram operates from late May through September, requiring visitors to pull themselves across using a system of ropes and pulleys.
Users of the hand tram experience a 100-foot crossing above Glacier Creek while manually controlling their movement through the suspended metal cage.
