We take you to the famous Chugach State Park! This park offers 495,000 acres of forests, lakes, mountains and valleys located right at Anchorage’s doorstep - and the welcome mat is out. Today’s Hike of the Week is just a 30-minute drive from downtown places you in prime Alaskan wilderness adventures, which offers the ultimate solitude and wilderness beauty in every season!

Hike of the week takes you up to Hatcher Pass! This mountainous area is infectious with its grand vistas, and historical artifacts that remain scattered throughout the mountain ranges. Today cabins are left from the Gold Rush, which some still rest on the summit of the highest peaks to the lowest areas of the valley. The range of visitors to Hatcher Pass vary from families to professional mountaineers, it’s truly a place for everyone. Todays show we take you up one mountain.

Directions from Anchorage:
Take the Glenn Highway from Anchorage. Two miles past the city of Palmer, turn left on Palmer-Fishhook Road, which becomes the Hatcher Pass Road. The Hatcher Pass Management Area is 10 miles from downtown Palmer; Independence Mine is 18 miles from Palmer.

Post production left us with so much good footage, we couldn’t shave off anymore giving us a 12:5 minute show. If this download was much larger than you like, feel free to send us feedback at +1 206-973-7469

Enjoy the show!
Scott!

Welcome into a Pilot show for what I hope will become a new segment on the Alaska Podshow. We shot this on the fly, and had no script or storyboard in place - It was great practice getting in front of the camera with a co-host and long-time friend Lelinda.

In retrospect, we left out a lot of information and fun facts - so we’ll probably do this over again. If you’d like more information on the Eagle River Nature Center visit their website at www.ernc.org. It’s a great place to go hiking!
Love to hear your feedback!
