At the base of Hatcher’s Pass, just at the bend in the road that takes you up, up, up the winding trail to the top of the pass, is a trail head to a valley known as Gold Mint Trail. Despite having spent numerous days exploring Hatcher’s Pass, this trail has eluded me up until now – on a perfect bluebird day.

Incredible scenery, Holly. You have certainly captured its beauty. Memories to cherish in mind, heart, and photos. Thank you for sharing. Donna from frigid Wisconsin ( -7 degrees F. without the windchill)
Nope, you can keep your -7! It’s currently 41 in Anchorage.
