Hatcher Pass Mine

Anne and Bill with the  upper Hatcher Pass Valley behind them. 
In the afternoon we took a drive up the Hatcher Pass to see the old mine site.  It was clouding over and a cool breeze was starting to blow. Looking down the Pass towards the valley that Wasilla and Palmer are in with the range of mountains that have the Kink Glacier. On the right is the old mine managers house that today is the information centre. The mine was in operation until the early 1960ies.
Looking up towards some of the mine buildings that have been saved and that wrecks of the mine behind them.
Another view down to the valley with a butte before the mountains on the other side.
