The Enchantments,Leavenworth, WA

Epic 10h push through alpine lakes and Aasgard Pass!

After trying to buy a pass several years in a row, I decided to just go for the full 26 miles push in a single day. Otherwise without a pass you are not allowed to camp there.

A long, strenuous day hike through one of the most beautiful alpine settings on earth, The Enchantments in the Alpine Lakes Wilderness. Starting at either end hike through forest to gain the 7,000-foot plateau. Then follow the trail over ridges, through alpine meadows, and a medley of lakes, granite peaks and subapline larches. It’s up to 26 miles and 6,500 feet of elevation gain.

Truly epic!
