Fodor's Expert Review Hatcher Pass Lodge
Hatcher Pass Rd., Palmer, Alaska, 99645, USA
This lodge has spectacular views and can serve as a base camp for hiking, berry picking, and—in fall and winter—skiing. Most rooms and cabins have queen-size beds. Three dormer-style rooms provide cozy accommodations for one or two guests. The cabins, some with lofts, are carpeted and have large picture windows with views of Hatcher Pass Valley. The cabins' half baths have chemical toilets and water coolers; showers are in the lodge. The restaurant's menu includes fondues, halibut, and pizzas. The bar serves cappuccinos and makes hot buttered rum on chilly nights.
