Nature
Skyscraper Mountain is a prominent summit in the Talkeetna Mountains near Hatcher Pass in south-central Alaska, rising steeply above Fishhook Creek and lying between drainage systems that feed the Little Susitna and Susitna rivers. Its subarctic setting and accessible but steep trail have made it a notable hiking destination. The mountain is also closely linked to the mining history of Hatcher Pass: on its northeast slope, the Martin Mine was the site of the first gold quartz discovery in the Willow Creek mining district, made by Robert Lee Hatcher in 1906. That district later became Alaska’s third-largest lode-gold producing region.
