Hatcher Pass Road Hike
The road to Hatcher Pass from Palmer, beyond the Independence Mine is not maintained during the winter. Even though it is May 30 and spring green is everywhere in the valley, the Hatcher Pass road is still covered in snow and closed. We decided it would be a great place to hike since it is above tree line with fabulous views, and totally free from traffic. Our plan was to follow the grade two miles to the summit.
More tomorrow,
