Guidebook for Palmer
Parks & Nature
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 Historical State Park.
You can get here via Hatcher Pass Road (aka Fishhook Road), 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.
In summer months, usually around July 4th, the road opens over the pass, so travelers can travel all the way to Willow. The road is gravel for 22 miles.
