In the Talkeetna Mountains between the towns of Willow and Palmer, Hatcher Pass is a local favorite for recreation or a scenic drive. Hike in alpine tundra dotted with wildflowers and ptarmigan, ski fresh, deep powder or visit Independence Mine Historic State Park. You can also hit Hatcher Pass on the way to Talkeetna, Denali, and Fairbanks but you’ll probably want to spend more time along the way. You can get there via Hatcher Pass Road (aka Palmer Fishhook Road out of Palmer), which winds through the mountains for roughly 60 miles between Palmer and Willow. In winter, the State maintains the road to Independence Bowl, giving recreationalists easy access to snowy mountains. The pass gets some of the earliest snow in the state, and used to be the training grounds for the Junior Olympic ski team. Travel to the top of the pass to Independence Mine. Learn about gold mining, home trails, or enjoy a scenic picnic lunch at 4,000 feet. Look for paragliders launching off steep hillsides, and keep an eye out for whistling marmots, pikas, and golden eagles. In late summer, there’s terrific blueberry picking. In good weather, you’ll see the Chugach Mountain Range, Alaska Range, and Palmer’s Pioneer Peek.

The town of Talkeetna is located approximately 115 road miles north of Anchorage, about 14 miles off the Parks Highway at the end of Talkeetna Spur Road and said to be the inspiration of the show “Northern Exposure”. The town is also the staging area for for climbers waiting to start their Mt. Denali ascents, and is probably the best location to view “the Mountain”.
