If raw and rugged mountainous landscape and expansive valleys of colorful tundra are your vision of beauty then Hatcher Pass in Alaska can’t be missed! Take a drive along the scenic 60-mile Hatcher Pass Road with plenty of opportunities for hiking, sightseeing and photography along the way. Go back in time to Alaska’s gold rush days and explore the decaying remnants of an abandoned mining town. Backpack to the most picturesque red cabin set amid towering, jagged peaks of the Talkeetna Mountains. Visit a seemingly idealistic and charming Alaska town perfectly framed by the Talkeetna and Chugach Mountain Ranges. Hatcher Pass is certainly Alaska’s lesser-known gem!

To be honest, I was intimidated by the thought of driving the Dalton Highway to the Arctic Circle even before stepping foot in Alaska.

All the information that I read beforehand gave me serious doubts about wanting to venture into the far north. As it turned out, driving the Dalton Highway was far more tame than expected.

A road trip through the stunning Kenai Peninsula of Alaska is the perfect way to experience the very best Alaska has to offer.

The Kenai Peninsula, often referred to as Alaska’s playground, encompasses everything that the average person thinks of when they think of Alaska. Rugged coastline, marine and land wildlife in their natural habitat, glaciers, snow-capped mountains, and fjords are only a few of the highlights that you can expect while visiting the Kenai Peninsula region of Alaska.
