After a great day climbing Ruth Mountain the day prior, and since our Icy Peak Traverse plans were nixed due to weather, we made plans to hike up to Hannegan Peak.
A restless night at camp due to the bugs, and since I decided not to use my air mattress in my tent, I could've slept better. But that was a personal choice due to laziness.
We got our start around 7:30am and made quick work up to Hannegan Peak. The trails is clear, very easy to hike on except for the occasional rocks. It was a pretty busy trail with many parties making their way up to the peak.
There were some views here and there as cloud cover came and went. But for the most part, it was pretty socked in. The hike back down to camp was uneventful.
We broke camp and hit the trail- four mile slog. We were at the trailhead by 1:30pm.
Pretty amazing two days in the Cascades with my favorite guide company- Cascade Mountain Ascents!
Total Mileage over two days: 24
Total vert over two days: 6,400
