  • Hatcher Pass is only open a few months out of the year and it is a fantastic outdoor playground for hikers and road trippers during that time. The road goes over Hatcher Pass Summit and has the fantastic Independence Mine State Park and lots of high altitude lakes along the way. Come with us as we take a road trip over Hatcher Pass in July.

    I cracked up when Amy said she felt like she was in Sound of Music. When I was there, my aunt actually took a short video of me spinning around and breaking into “The hills are alive…with the sound of music….” (My aunt & uncle live in Anchorage and they took my mom & me to Hatcher Pass last time we visited. It was absolutely beautiful. Your video brought back great memories.)

    that vendor has the wildest food selection, brazilian limenade, thai curry with buckweat soba?! or brown rice, italian soda, iced mint tea, and spinach bread plus breakfast burritos... though that spinach bread looks pretty good

    Thank you for this video. My husband and I spent several days, at two separate times, camping at Gold Mint Campground, last summer. Enjoyed your views. We had some clear sky, but nothing like what you experienced. Of course 2023 was the summer of rain and cooler temps! I hope to get back and spend another 3 months there.

    Alaska is so amazing. First time we went in 2018, we spent a full day at Hatcher’s Pass and did the same stuff you did! Same two hikes. Both amazing! Add the Gold Mint trail and Reed Lakes to your list. They’re Longer trails but they look absolutely fantastic! We missed the Spinach Bread truck though! It wasn’t in Talkeetna when we went. Also you have amazing luck with seeing Denali!

    Overall California or any other lower 48 states are way more beautiful than Alaska! This is my personal opinion after watching all of your and traveling Robert’s Alaska videos.

    Great video, but you might want to monitor the audio level a bit more carefully. In a few places, your narration was much louder than the rest of the video.
