Hatcher!! On the move gathering as many greens and flowers as possible to store under boulders on the mountain in Hatcher Pass. Photographer Phillip Flippo says he will do this 4-6 times before taking a break.

Hatcher Pass is home to a one-time huge gold mine that is no longer active, Independence Mine, but there are several smaller mines still operating. The houses or cabins are Hatcher Pass Lodge. The food is delish. One of the pics shows Independence Mine and Hatcher Pass Lodge. The little critter is a Marmot and he/she was very welcoming. 😀 I also saw two Pikas but didn't get their pics!

Batch #2 from Turnagain Arm. #Alaska #AlaskaSummer #SewardHighway #TurnagainArmAlaska
I have tons of pics to share from our trip, but I wanted to first share these from our trip home yesterday. We have had SOOOOOO much rain over the last two months, but we have finally hit summer and yesterday was particularly glorious at Turnagain Arm on the Seward Highway. We stopped, walked and I took tons of photos. Here is the first batch. #Alaska #TurnagainArmAlaska #AlaskaSummer
Hatcher Pass today. Will post more when I get home Friday! I suck at sharing photos from my phone. #Alaska #HatchersPassAlaska

You can watch the bears of Katmai National Park catch fish right from the comfort of home no matter where you live!
