Bannon Mountain Trailhead launches into ridgeline hikes with wide panoramic views of the Methow Valley and surrounding peaks. Photographers find sweeping landscapes, seasonal wildflowers and dramatic skies at sunrise/sunset. Trailhead parking is limited; no fee. Expect a moderate uphill trail with exposed sections—dress in layers and carry water. Best light: golden hour and blue hour; late summer for wildflowers, fall for crisp air and color.
