7:14 PM LOCAL TIMEHyndman Peak stands at 10,012 feet (3,056 meters) as the towering centerpiece of a rugged ridge in the Sawtooth Wilderness. The easiest routes ascend a well-maintained trail and cross snowfields and small glaciers near the summit — requiring careful navigation and standard high-mountain gear. Beneath the peak, the terrain is sharp and alpine, with 500ft pass crossings, deep glacial basins, and lakes; access requires route-finding across rocky and snow-covered ground. The area is popular for day hikes, peak bagging, and backcountry camping, with summit panoramas that span Idaho's high peaks, forested valleys, and stark granite landscapes. Nearby features include Davis Glacier, Toxaway Lake, and passes to the west and south that connect to trail networks in the Reese Creek and Redfish Lake areas.
