Copper Lake via Hannegan Pass, North Cascades National Park

2 day, 1 night out-and-back to Copper Lake via Hannegan Pass in North Cascades National Park on July 23-24, 2024.
Each way was ~12.5 miles, with 4,600’ of elevation gain on the first day. Beginning at the Hannegan Pass Trailhead, the route went over Hannegan Pass, up to the Copper Mountain Fire Lookout before descending to Copper Lake.

You did this just right. No need for any talk. The magnificence of the mountains and the sound of your footsteps says it all! One of the very best videos this armchair mountaineer has ever seen!

How many hours did it take to reach camp?

Strava had it 12.7 miles and 4600’ gain in 6.25 hours of hiking. I took a lunch at Hannegan Pass and another extended break near Egg Lake, so actually took about 7.5 hours.
