Hannegan Peak is a nice hiking trail peak in some of the most fantastic scenery in Washington. Most of the 5 mile trail has views to enjoy...big views. Because this area gets big snow, the trail will have snow well through June even though it is a south facing trail near the top. We went up at the end of June and the pictures will show there was still a significant about of snow. This is a perfect kid climb whether carrying them or older ones hiking on their own.
