Hatcher Pass is a wonderful place to recreate in the summer and winter as well. Majestic mountains, flowing rivers and sweeping vistas dominate this area of Alaska. It's only a short drive from Palmer or Wasilla, but once you arrive here you can hike for a bit and feel totally alone in this vast wilderness. Here are a few pics of the area on a beautiful Winter day. :)
With the exceptionally large amount of snow we've had this winter, moose have been struggling to make it through. When the snow is as deep as it is now, moose find it hard to maneuver through and end up on the roads where the snow is less. This leads to many car-moose collisions which have killed over 440 moose so far this winter just in my area alone. Recently a cow moose and her yearling calf have taken residence in my back yard for the last couple of weeks. I have a wooded area behind my house which offers them food and a safe place to rest. Here are a few pictures of them..enjoy!
This is a blog about life here in the last frontier. I'll try to add many pics and maps if possible. For anyone who plans on coming up here, I hope to be able to help with any questions. Thanks for looking!
