499 - Cloud Level View
by Gary Minish
The trail is not the primary subject in this scene so maybe not quite as appropriate for the theme as the other posts so far but it does have a two tracked trail meandering down the mountain in the lower left. This is Thompson Pass, Alaska and the trail was probably created almost a hundred years ago when a telegraph line was run down the side of the mountain. Closer to the center, where the river runs between the mountains you can also see a bit of the current highway and the old wagon trail to Valdez (at least you can see it in the large version).

I love the atmosphere in this image. It's just gorgeous! Well done, Gary!
