sorry about all the questions-but we are keen to see the float planes on lake hood-the millenium hotel seems rather pricey though-is there anywhere else to see them from?
thanks again
You can access the hand tram from the west side of the Winner Creek Trail (from Crow Creek Mine Road). It is a much shorter walk from this side and there is plenty of parking at the trailhead as well as restrooms.
Re: Lake Hood. I go toward the airport and turn off at Post Road (to the right). You can park real close to the lake if you follow signs to the Aviation Museum. There are other places to park too, but just be really careful - many of the "roads" in this area are actually active taxiways and not roads!
