Hiking the Enchantments
Once you reach the summit, the Core Enchantments sprawl out before you. The beauty is enough to make you forget your recent climb. A stark landscape comprised of pristine alpine lakes surrounded by striking peaks and granite greet wary hikers. It was here near the top, that Nick and I settled ourselves along the banks of an upper basin lake and took a well deserved break.
Ptarmigan Ridge Trail
The next morning we headed toward the trail junction for Ptarmigan Ridge with bugs and snow at the forefront of our minds. As we got closer to the ridge we could only make out the barest of trails and endless snowfields. Lets just say at this point we were far from optimistic, but as fate would have it we would soon meet someone on the trail that would reignite our sense of hope and adventure.
