The Hanson Lakes are a series of three alpine lakes deep in the Sawtooth Mountains. Upper Hanson Lake sits highest in a large bowl just a short distance from Middle Hanson, which is is the largest of the three lakes, and Lower Hanson Lakes. All three lakes drain into a stream that goes over Bridal Veil Falls down into Stanley Lake Creek.
