Saturday we camped in Palmer, AK at Mountain View RV Park about 43 miles north of Anchorage and took a motorcycle rode to Hatcher Pass and the Independence Mine State Historical Park. A beautiful ride. This is between the Glenn Highway and the Parks Highway.

A nice winding road with lots pf pull outs to see the Little Sustina River and beautiful wildflowers. Recreational mining is allowed within the public use area. And there was a wedding taking place on the rocks! We enjoyed our afternoon coffee at the Hatcher Pass Lodge watching paragliding.
