Mount Hinman, Mountain peak in Alpine Lakes Wilderness, Washington, USA
Mount Hinman is a 7,492-foot (2,284 m) peak on the border of Snoqualmie and Wenatchee National Forests in Washington, less than 2 mi (3.2 km) west of Mount Daniel. Hinman Glacier lies on its north flank and Foss Glacier to the northeast, within the Alpine Lakes Wilderness.
The mountain was named in 1934 in honor of Dr. Harry B. Hinman, who helped establish the Mountaineers organization in Everett. This tribute recognized his role in promoting mountaineering activity in the region.
Mount Hinman lies within the Alpine Lakes Wilderness, and its name, given in 1934, honours Dr. Harry B. Hinman, a founder of the Everett branch of The Mountaineers club. The peak stands less than 2 mi (3.2 km) west of Mount Daniel, and Hinman Glacier sits on its north flank while Foss Glacier lies to the northeast.
Climbing the peak requires wilderness permits and access through the Alpine Lakes Wilderness, which demands good physical fitness and mountaineering experience. Summer months offer the most stable snow and ice conditions for safer climbing attempts.
Mount Hinman carries two named glaciers: Hinman Glacier on its north flank and Foss Glacier to the northeast. The mountain was named in 1934 for Dr. Harry B. Hinman, a founder of the Everett branch of The Mountaineers club, so the ice on its north side bears the same name as the peak.
