Mount Haggin

Mount Haggin (10,607') is one of tallest and most iconic peaks of the Anaconda Range towering high over the small town of Anaconda just west of Butte. Despite being a challenging hike that climbs a staggering 5,200' in over seven miles the route is mostly straightforward. The first section follows an old road, appropriate for biking, up to Hearst Lake which is a great destination on it's own. Spur trails lead west from the lake up to a small drainage at the foot of Haggin which is followed by a steep scramble up it's northeast flank. Hearst Lake and the surrounding drainages serve as a water source for the town of Anaconda so camping is prohibited in the area. Since the trailhead is right in the town of Anaconda it can be accessed by any vehicle.
