Whether you want a shorter hike along the creek or want to go the full 9 miles into the Gold Mint Glacier and camp overnight, this trail is a popular destination. The parking lot is open to camping (for a fee) and there are toilet facilities. In August and September, the hills west of the parking lot are good blueberry picking grounds.

Easy-going trail along the headwaters of the Little Susitna River. The trail is wide and well maintained. Beautiful views of the mountains and great place to get out into nature.

Gold Mint is one of many trails located in Hatcher Pass. It is 8 miles one way, but well worth the hike. It takes through low vegetation up to the base of the mountain. There is then a trail along side the mountain that leads to the top. Once again the scenery is beautiful for the whole hike.
