About Hatcher Pass ATV Tours

Discover Alaska’s backcountry the way it’s meant to be seen – on a guided ATV/UTV tour through the rugged Talkeetna Mountains of Hatcher Pass. Just 70 miles (about 1.5 hours) from Anchorage, our tours combine the thrill of open-air riding with the comfort of enclosed machines.

Climb alpine ridgelines, splash through crystal creeks, and stop for panoramic overlooks where, on clear days, Denali rises on the horizon. Keep an eye out for moose, eagles, and seasonal wildflowers as our experienced guides lead you through one of Alaska’s most scenic playgrounds.

In winter, we transform our UTVs into tracked mini snowcats, keeping the adventure going in warmth and style. We also offer scenic Alaska snowmobile tours for beginners.
