Norman_Clyde Posted October 6, 2003 Posted October 6, 2003 (edited) I'll be making a loop around the Enchantments from Aasgard down to Snow Lakes on Tuesday, with diversionary tours to various 3rd class objectives as time and weather permit. I anticipate leaving Seattle early, probably leaving a bike at one end of the trail or the other. Anyone in the mood for a fast tour is invited. Edited October 6, 2003 by Norman_Clyde Quote
Bug Posted October 6, 2003 Posted October 6, 2003 OO. OO. I just did a loop that compares to that. I went in past Trout lake and Copper lake, past Heart and Big Heart, and up to Chetwood where I bivied. Today, I went up and over Iron Cup and over to the head of teh Necklace Valley and down the necklace valley. It was a great cruise. The scenery is almost as good as the Enchantments. Took ice ax, crampons and climbing shoes just to weigh me down but did not use any of it.. Quote
marylou Posted October 6, 2003 Posted October 6, 2003 N, Â I assume you already know that the Colchuck TH is officially closed while the bridge is being replaced between 8mile TH and Colchuck TH, and that there is a mostly uncontrolled blaze burning nearby at Crystal Creek and down to Ingalls Creek. It will be smoky, be careful and all of that! Quote
Cpt.Caveman Posted October 6, 2003 Posted October 6, 2003 Perfect timing to see nobody.. Â The blaze will be far enough away to enjoy the spirits of the mountains and the bridge out deal is really comical this time of year if you are savvy; which I read that you are. Â Â Go for it. Quote
thegroid Posted October 6, 2003 Posted October 6, 2003 sweet, i just did that a few weeks ago, climbing all the peaks on both sides of the valley. watch your back tho, junior rangers are over there on the road to the bridge and wielding ticket books. but they are all old and can easily be outrun, probably the only reason i didnt get any fines.

Norman_Clyde Posted October 6, 2003 Author Posted October 6, 2003 I haven't kept up on the bridge debacle. I thought it was put off until next year. We'll have to sneak across in the predawn darkness. Thanks to all of you for the advice. Quote
Norman_Clyde Posted October 7, 2003 Author Posted October 7, 2003 I have put it off until tomorrow. Stayed up late last night and was not quite motivated for the 4 AM rising. I may drive out there tonight to avoid a repeat of the same. Quote
