Got a bunch of shots from this ride if anyone wants to see more. Best backcounrty ride of the year! Warm enough to ride in a T and my Tekvest all day.
 
Our house is near the river at the base of the mountains in the far background of this photo, some 40 miles away as the crow flies.

Great place for lunch or anything else for that matter !!!!!!!!

Wonder what it would be like to have "afternoon delight" in a place like that ??
 
Looking back across the pass at our tracks coming in. The apreoach to the climb it takes to get here is obscured by a blind hill.

Shadetree1; Between the differance in air quality, the wiff of endorphines of smiply being in courty that steep and the over powering grandure of the place you are in a hightened state simply standing still. Add in the rush of gaining an average of 1200 feet in elevation in 2-4 minutes up slopes that only a handful of skiers would atempt to go down and you have one of the greatest highs you can imagine! I laugh like a drunkered at the end of a big run! I can only guess but "A state of elevated awarness and complete oneness with the universe" comes to mind......a granola bar was a religous experiance.
 
This is the last 120 feet or so of a climb we did on monday. It had to have been close to 70 next to the snow and my machine was running like crap so we used the turn out on the last swtich back of a 1500 foot climb.

No Lazy is closer to my house over in Palmer, I like to hike Matanuska peak as a day hike in the sumer wich is the next peak to the east from Lazy Mountian. Hatchers pass is behind wasilla and stretches west to the willow area. Hatchers is steeper and more rughed than Lazy Mountian.
 
I just looked again did you mean the ones in the background where I live? Thats Pioneer peak in the background I am about 7 miles up the knik river drainage, really steep over by me.
 
Ya just go a bit north of Wasilla and your in Hatchers pass! The last pic I posted was right at summit lake. I'm headed out to Archangel valley in a couple of hours, You should be able to find both on any topo. I love maps and knew my way around the valley before we even moved here. My folks in the lower 48 do the same that you are........they love to look up new places and try to get an idea of where we are playing.
