Fall Colors are almost here!

Two years ago I scored a 5 -day permit for the Enchantments, in the Alpine Lakes Wilderness, near Leavenworth, Washington.

The hike up Aasgard Pass to the Enchantments Basin was brutal, but infinitely worth the sweat and pain!

The Sub-alpine Larch turn colors in early October, to a bright electric orange.

The result is unbelievable!

This October I spent 5 days in the Enchantments, we hiked into Colchuck Lake, camped, and the next day hiked up Aasgard Pass to Isolation Lake. Here are a few images from the trip!
