Hidden Lake Peaks is a prominent mountain located in the Pacific Ranges mountain range in Washington, United States. It stands at an elevation of 6,703 feet (2,043 meters) and offers breathtaking panoramic views of the surrounding area. The mountain is part of the North Cascades National Park and is a popular destination for mountaineers and hikers.

During the winter season, Hidden Lake Peaks receives a significant amount of snowfall, making it an ideal spot for winter mountaineering and snowshoeing. The snowpack range can vary depending on the year, but on average, it can reach depths of 5 to 10 feet. This makes it a challenging but rewarding destination for experienced winter adventurers.

The mountain is named after the hidden lake nestled within its peaks. This pristine alpine lake is fed by the melting snow from the surrounding mountains, making it crystal clear and an excellent spot for photography and relaxation. The lake is also the source of runoff for several creeks and rivers, including the Hidden Lake Creek and Sibley Creek, which eventually flow into the Skagit River.

While not much is known about specific legends or lore associated with Hidden Lake Peaks, the mountain's name itself evokes a sense of mystery and intrigue, adding to its allure. With its stunning beauty, challenging terrain, and breathtaking views, Hidden Lake Peaks is a must-visit destination for outdoor enthusiasts seeking an unforgettable mountaineering experience in the Pacific Ranges.
