Here's a panoramic photo trip report documenting last weekend when Josh, his brother and I day hiked an epic loop starting from the Colchuck Lake TH and heading up the steep slopes of Cannon Mountain, traversing over Prusik Pass hitting Enchantment Peak on the way and then hiking up through the upper Enchantments and heading down Aasgard and the trail back to the car. Did this last Friday July 29th and saw a fantastic sunset on our way down Aasgard. Got back to the car at 1:30am exhausted. A couple days later on Sunday we climbed Mt. Stuart via the Cascadian Colouir. I apologize for not writing up a nice report but I don't have the time right now In chronological order... Friday July 29th (Cannon and Enchantment Peak loop hike) About 13 miles and 8000 total elevation gain/loss; 15 hours...lots of class 3 Here's the route we took that day:

Sunday July 31st...Mt. Stuart About 6500 feet gain/loss

Looks like some serious stick and brush bashing at the start of the loop hike. Your friend (red cap) has quite the gashes on his legs. Other than that - 2 classic hikes with great pictures.
