Took a weekday trip to the Enchantments avoiding the horde, though still many people—some of whom weren’t at all prepared for inclement conditions. It was an icy ascent up Aasgard Pass and we were helping each other up an icy scramble. I had micro spikes so it wasn’t too bad. Many did not.

The larches hadn’t dropped too many needles so we got some amazing views. Even were the first to congratulate a couple who got engaged in the Core and took some pics for them.

We decided not to chance finding a ride back to the car—shuttle was fully booked—and set an earlier turnaround time for the top of Aasgard. Barely caught up with a solo hiker and offered to go down with her to make sure everyone made it down okay. I set a new path avoiding that icy scramble down.
