Backpacking the Enchantments Episode 1: Straight to the Core! 

Okay aren’t you the sweetest! Planning a trip to Washington in August 2023 and came across your video. When you reached the top of the pass into the core and got emotional… you made me emotional! Loved the video and will be subscribing!

I had only learned about The Enchantments this summer, and had done the Colchuck Lake already, when I came across some of your Washington trails videos, I decided to open you tube on my tv and ended up watching more of your videos all morning before work today, honestly your videos doesn’t bore me at all as I learned too much from them. This segment made me emotional when I saw your your emotions when you made it up and past Aasgard Pass. You are so very detailed, keep it up and you GUAC it girl!!! This video really made me to go for the Traverse!!! Hope I get to win the lotto for it otherwise, it will be a dayhike (next summer for sure) , I have subscribed already and will be going back again and again for tips as I unlock my way to discovering Washington States more. Two thumbs to you!!! Enjoy and safe hiking all the time!!! Likes will be done when I go back and watch your videos again. And thank you for sharing your wonderful journeys!!! Love all the way from Surrey, BC

Amazing video. Thank you for sharing. I really enjoy all of your content. Can't wait to see part 2.

love it, so if you have some yarrow growing around you it kinnda easy to make some bug repellent, just give it 8-9 days in some 100 proof and put it in a spray bottle.

Great vid . Got some great weather

What a beautiful hike....it is truly magical where you put up your tent and saw a mountain goat....Love the video

We got a core but it was early late June so we couldn’t hike over the pass but stayed in colchuck for two nights, three days. It was amazing! We didn’t get in this year unfortunately

We managed to score a 5 day Core permit last August. Without a doubt the trip of a lifetime! It's brutal hike but worth all the pain.

you did a way better job then I did when you summited Aasgard pass. I got on my knees and started sobbing with how emotional it was lol

Aasgard almost killed me. Took nearly 5 hours to get up.

This is soo soo beautiful. Really happy for you. What month was this? Did you by any chance treat your gear with permethrin that could help with bugs?

What about hiking to Colchuck only, do we need a permit for that as well ahead of time ?

😅Enchantments permits have become an urban legend. 8 years trying, all zones, maximum flexibility with zero results.
