Hannegan Pass and Peak — Saturday, Oct. 25, 2025

The first few miles of trail were covered in slushy snow but it became a couple feet deep close to the campground. Fall foliage was still visible in parts of the valley. The trail up to the peak was passable, but the dog and I turned around before the top because I was being blown over by intense wind gusts. It was snowing heavily and was very beautiful. I was glad to be dressed in snow pants and warm layers. I used spikes on the way down and a hiking pole. We passed a handful of people finishing the hike as we started and all appeared to be equipped with snow gear. We finished after dark and found one other vehicle who seemed to be camped at the trailhead.
