Hidden Lake Peaks peak
Hidden Lake Peaks rises to 7,088 ft in Pacific-Ranges within the Cascade Range range.
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.

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.
