Summertime fun

I know, my blog has been very dormant this summer, but who really wants to sit in front of their computer when they could be out doing fun stuff. Exactly. I thought it was time for an update, so here are a few pictures from a hike Lisa and I took to the Enchantments recently:

Click on any of the photos to enlarge them.

This is where the real hiking began, Colchuck Lake, a high mountain lake situated at upwards of 5600 ft. in elevation.

The above chart shows elevation gain and loss from Colchuck to where we ended our hike at the Snow Lakes trail head. (click to enlarge.)


Our first camp at the top of Asgard Pass we were exhausted! (on the chart Asgard is the highest point.)


The next morning.


A goat!

There he is again!

The upper Enchantments.

Leprechaun Lake, where we stayed our second night.

The snow lakes dam, from this point(and we were already exhausted) it was only three more hours to the car.
