Hatchers Hiking

There was no snow in Palmer, and just a few dirty remnants in Anchorage. So we continued higher into the mountains. Hatcher's pass had about a foot of fluffy powder - not much for this time of year, but plenty for snowshoeing!
I found a snowman with the artist's fingerprints.


Even at midday, if there are clouds it can feel quite dim.


It's a loooong way down



At the top of the ridge, we found an Alaska state flag!


and a weather station


We continued all the way to the farthest point.


We retraced our steps, hoping to get a quick ski in after our hike.



This was around 2 pm in late December.
