# Hatcher Pass ATV Tours

> Hatcher Pass ATV Tours is a year-round guided outdoor adventure company on the Willow side of Hatcher Pass in the Talkeetna Mountains of Alaska. We run guided ATV/UTV tours, ATV/UTV rentals, snowmobile tours, snowmobile rentals, Northern Lights tours, dog sledding, and full-day adventure tours in Hatcher Pass and the Talkeetna Mountains near Anchorage, Wasilla, Palmer, Talkeetna, and Denali. All tours use brand-new Polaris machines (including heated, fully enclosed Polaris Xpedition UTVs — we're the only company in Alaska offering this), small group sizes (groups are never combined in the same machine), and require no prior experience. Helmets, training, and gear are provided.
