The Enchantment Lakes are a stunning alpine paradise with crystal-clear lakes, smooth granite, towering peaks, vibrant larches, and friendly mountain goats. They're often considered the highlight of hiking in Washington. The thru-hike is typically done from the Stuart Lake trailhead, because it reduces the total elevation gain by 2,600 feet relative to going the opposite direction (although it still takes in the punishing climb up Aasgard Pass, which rises 1,900 feet in less than a mile).

Serious inquiries only. I'm looking to get a group of at least four to six people for this trip. It's going to cost about $300 to $400 each, not including the flights to Washington. Once I know how many people are going, I'll share the final price per person.
