Enchantments - trail conditions
Gorgeous pictures - thanks for sharing! Thats a trip I'd like to do - what were the trail conditions like? It looks like there was still a ton of snow up there.

Sorry I've been gone and just got back in town. Thank for the comments! I'll try to answer the questions...

How was that descent down the north ridge of Cannon?
The descent wasn't bad, it was just very time consuming especially down lower where you have to crawl over LOTS of trees. I was also post-holing to my knees with about every 4th step. I just kept thinking how I really wouldn't want to be going UP this way. Also, the old road is very overgrown and there is a HUGE landslide that took out a good portion of it. I didn't bring the snowshoes and probably wouldn't, although post-holing was occasionally an annoyance. Trail is totally snow-free to Colchuck Lake, and it's solid snow from there. Colchuck was mostly thawed and from this shot I took it looked like Stuart was thawed too.
