Hatcher's Pass road is a scenic drive that can be accessed north of Palmer, or from the Willow side of the pass. In Alaskan summer, travelers are able to drive up from one side and over the pass, then drive down the other side, with many scenic views along the way! In the winter it's a fun area for skiing and sledding, but the upper area is not open to drive through the pass.
