The Enchantments

 The hike today was incredible. We started at the trailhead at 6:30 am and got back to the car around 9:30 pm. It was a long day but the mountain lakes were gorgeous. It didn’t take long to arrive at the first beautiful lake and then Jenn and Ashley pointed out Aasgard pass to me and I realized we were in for a challenge. You circle around the lake and then head straight up the side of the mountain! It was exhilarating though and the views kept getting better and better. It was amazing and it felt so good to make it to the top! We ate lunch at another lake at the top of the mountain and then kept hiking around several more lakes. We also some mountain goats. I can totally understand why they call it the Enchantments. It looks like a beautiful story book! At one of the beautiful lakes we put on our swimsuits and went for a polar plunge in the 50 degree water. It felt invigorating. 20 miles of hiking made for a long day but it was really just the last two miles where Abby and I started hurting. Our feet were tired! But we were so happy to have done it and would definitely do it again. We spent some time in the hot tub tonight before crashing in bed.
