Independence Mine State Historical Park
Independence Mine Tour
This is a tour of the Independence Mine State Park in Alaska below Hatcher Pass. It is located North West of Palmer on Fish-hook Road. There is an entrance fee at the Independence Ski Lodge--which is about two miles south of the Mine itself. The bathrooms are of the honeybucket type with no water. There is probably a bathroom at the Visitor's Center, but that was closed when we were there.

Gold Rush - Independence Gold Mine - near Anchorage, Alaska
Join us on our walking tour of the Independence Mine State Historical Park, a popular summer destination for mining enthusiast and a great winter recreation area. The Independence was the largest mine in the Willow Creek District. Over a dozen other hard rock mines operated and may operate again within a few miles.
What is now called Independence Mine was once two mines: The Alaska Free Gold Mine on Skyscraper Mountain, and Independence Mine on Granite Mountain.

4th of July 2014 weekend at Hatchers Pass, Alaska
Hatcher Pass (3886 ft./1148 m.) is a mountain pass through the southwest part of the Talkeetna Mountains, Alaska. It is named after Robert Hatcher, a prospector and miner. The nearest incorporated communities are Palmer and Wasilla.
Almost all the land around the pass is public; there are numerous widely distributed small private land holdings, mainly mineral estates. The area is popular for daytrip recreation; sledding, skiing, snowmobiling, hiking, camping, hunting, white-water kayaking, berry-picking, climbing, recreational gold-mining, mountain biking, etc. Independence Mine State Historical Park consists of 271 acres, with well-preserved mine buildings, and a mining museum which offers underground mine tours, in Independence Valley, an alpine valley just below the pass.

Hatcher Pass, Top 100 Drives in the USA
One of the top scenic drives in the United States of America is Hatcher Pass, from Wasilla to Willow. Typically the pass opens the weekend before July 4. It is closed until July 4 or so typically due to snow and wet road conditions that would deteriorate the road quickly. The road goes from The Matanuska-Susitna Valley up to Independence Mine then all the way through the steep narrow pass to quaint Willow, Alaska. The entire drive is about 50 miles one way.
