Enchantment Lakes

On the last weekend in July, 2006, my father visited us. We took him on a grueling backpack into the Wenatchee National Forest to the Enchantment Lakes. It was beautiful, but difficult. These are some of the pictures from our adventure.

Here is a video from our trip. It is related to the first picture as it is video of our first encounter with a goat. The original DVD recording is much better.
GOAT ENCOUNTERS OF THE HERD KIND!

1. We encounter our first of many goats 2. Nada Lake. The first flat ground on the hike up 3. A waterfall about 2 minutes from our camp 4. Beauty 5. Leslie in front of our tent at Lake Leprechaun

6. A goat near our camp 7. Leslie and I crossing some snow on a day hike 8. The junction of Sprite Lake and Perfection Lake. Later I douse my head in this waterfall. See picture 19. Little Annapurna on the top left 9. Perfection Lake below Little Annapurna 10. Leslie & I resting beside Perfection Lake

11. Another goat encounter of the herd kind 12. Leslie and I resting beside Lake Inspiration 13. Leslie walking up a steep snowfield. 14. Dad has accomplished the steep snowfield! 15. This is the snowfield in the previous two pics. Pretty impressive eh?

16. A spot overlooking Crystal Lake. We had lunch here 17. On the way to the moon, or the upper basin 18. The upper basin is just ahead, but you will have to look at the next page to see it. It is located in the Little Annapurna section 19. HA HA! And here I am dousing my head in the falls between Sprite Lake and Perfection Lake. See picture 8 20. Little Annapurna as seen from Perfection Lake

21. A group picture 22. Leslie and my father 23. Another group shot taken on the way down 24. Heh heh, a picture from my journey up there alone in 2005. Same location as in the previous pic 25. My Dad and me on our way down, almost there

26. My Wife and Father on the way home 27. My Pops

I went off on a lone sojourn to the top of Little Annapurna. See pictures 8, 9, and 20 above. Click on this link to see some of the pictures:
