Review:
Nestled between the towns of Willow and Palmer in the Talkeetna Mountains, Hatcher Pass is a 60-mile-long scenic drive with plenty of places to stop and explore. The scenic drive takes in some spectacular scenery and offers a variety of things to see and do along the way, ranging from visiting Independence Mine Historical State Park and hiking in beautiful alpine tundra dotted with wildflowers and ptarmigan, to skiing in fresh deep-powder snow and enjoying relaxing picnics at 4,000 feet. Visitors can take in spectacular views of the Chugach Range, Alaska Range, and Palmer’s Pioneer Peak and see soaring falcons, and golden eagles.
