Hatcher Pass Photo Gallery
A collection of images from all seasons of the beautiful Hatcher Pass and surrounding area
by Cecil Sanders
Hatcher Pass is an amazing place. The mountains are worthy of a simple evening drive. The many trails have so much flora and fauna waiting to be discovered. The abandoned gold mines are full of history to learn about. It’s a place that is easy to fall in love with and for those who’ve never been—the following photo gallery is sure to inspire a visit.

























This is one of my most favorite spots. When I lived in Alaska I went all the time by myself once I learned how to drive. I really miss it.
I am trying to think of a place in Alaska I enjoy more than Hatcher Pass… … still thinking…
Thank you, lovely…my three children each had a rep from their respective families in the Hatcher Pass Marathon this year; such a thrill!
You are welcome. Glad you enjoy it!
I miss Hatcher Pass. I was born in Anchorage but raised in Palmer. We lived in Palmer but mom chose to go to Anchorage. Hatcher Pass was like my backyard. Hiking in the summer and sledding in the winter.
When my husband and I retired we sold our home to be close to our grandsons. I try to get back home when possible.
This is where I live! Can’t imagine living anywhere else!
Yes, HP is an amazing place!
