I decided to spend my time exploring the lakes starting from the top.
There are two entrances to the Enchantments. This looks out of the area back to Colchuck Lake. You climb Aasgard Pass to this point. That is the way we came in during my last trip.
Looking into the Enchantments, Isolation Lake is this first big one.
I climbed down and found the trail. Along the way I encountered a mountain goat and her baby.
Then later I saw this little guy.
The water from Isolation flowed on down to lower lakes
via a series of mostly unnamed small lakes and ponds.
Rock cairns indicate the trail. Since the trail is often across granite they are important markers.
At this elevation, the terrain is stark. The vegetation is very short in this valley because there is very little weather protection.
However, if you get down on your knees you can see some interesting things,
and tiny flowers.
