The Enchantments

Shane recently returned from 5 days in the Enchantments with Aubrey, Steve and Mike.  Rosie had the unfortunate luck of impaling her foot with a rusty nail while we were packing up to leave town.  After getting an updated Tetanus shot she made the decision to stay in town and make sure her foot healed so that she would be ready to hit the JMT.  Now after two crazy days of errands and last minute preparation for the JMT we will be hitting the road in the morning to head to California. If all goes well we will be starting out on the trail Thursday or Friday and be on the JMT for the following three weeks, followed by a week of climber trail stewardship with the Mazamas in Tuolumne Meadows in the north end of Yosemite NP.

After hiking in to Lake Stuart and setting up camp for the week, we set off on day trips to Horseshoe Lake, The Core Enchantment Zone via Aasgard Pass and the ridge above Lake Stuart for views down into the Eight Mile Zone and the surrounding area.
