Trip: The Enchantments - In a Day

 

Date: 6/29/2014

 

Trip Report:

Went with my gf to the Leavenworth Rockfest the other weekend. My right elbow is injured so I needed to keep myself busy during the day.

 

I started at the Stuart Lake trailhead and was in the upper enchantments in just under 2.5 hours. Aasgard was clear of snow, but the Enchantments themselves still had a lot of snow. I postholed a lot near rock boundaries and slipped a bit - almost rolled my ankle more than a few times.

 

Just below Lake Vivian the snow stops and it's clear back to the Snow Lake trailhead.

 

Didn't bring much - my phone, a coat, some spikes just in case (didn't need), and some gu/blocks + 2-ish liters of water.

 

Took a few phone pics but mostly kept moving. Larger pics on Facebook.

Gear Notes:

Brought spikes, didn't use.

Brought a whippet, probably just needed a pole or two.

 

Approach Notes:

No snow until the Enchantments proper.
