Power Line Trail is a trail that Kelsey and I have been using for quite some time this summer to take Chili walking, and access other hiking trailheads. I am a fan of biking the pass until you can't bike anymore. There is a point in which the trail goes into a pretty steep mountainous hill which makes it quite difficult to bike up. The bike ride in is pretty intense. There is a 1,500 foot elevation gain by the time you get to the hill that I was talking about. It's a great ride down though.
I rode about 2 and a half hours in, hiked up the hill, and could have kept going. The way the trail is built, makes it possible to follow the Seward Highway to the little town of Indian. Unfortunately I wasn't feeling to good about carrying my bike up the hill with me. :) So, after hiking the hill and checking out the views from the top, I rode down in about 45 minutes. Great ride!
It was an absolutely beautiful day, and to my surprise the trail was not over populated like it usually is. I met a really cool porcupine, and had an awesome time riding the trail. It's really nice to just plug in your earbuds in and just go.
