 @c531994e the larches are about two weeks from peak color, they're starting here though. Glad you got up there. Now do the other side, camp at Colchuck and day hike up Aasgard Pass to the upper basin. Then you'll have the full Enchantments experience. Or do the day-hike through, in at the Stuart/Colchuck trailhead, out the Snow Lake trailhead. 🙂 
 @c02fb0a2 I would like to do the other side. Aasgard Pass looked like it would be tricky to go down but good experience. I’ve been watching some videos of other Alpine Lakes areas and bought the NatGeo map in the Avenza app. Would love to do more around Snoqualmie. 
 @c531994e Not that bad, I found it easier to go down than up, which is a serious leg-burning grunt. You want good weather though either way. 
 @c02fb0a2 For sure. I was worried about rain and dealing with the granite. I started jogging back through the Core when I got a weather alert near Aasgard saying rain was on the way and suddenly Dragontail Peak was in a dark cloud.
