Hatcher Pass | Scenic Drive (west to east) | Alaska

Scenic drive from Willow Fishook Road through Hatcher Pass (west to east). Total transit time from Parks Highway to the Glenn Highway is approximately 2-hours. Enjoy a picnic by the river, or camp overnight in one of the many off-grid/boondocking areas along the road. There is private property and mining claims through different sections of the road, please observe all signs and instructions.

Large are RV’s and trailers aren’t recommended to go over the pass. Standard size vehicles should be just fine. Use the chapter markers below to understand the approximate location of campsites, pull-outs, etc. Road does not have reliable mile markers for most of the journey.
