Our plan for the weekend was to climb Mt. Baker, but the forecast was no good. We looked at Mt. Jefferson in Oregon, but that forecast was bad too. The Saturday forecast for the Enchantments was good enough, so a bunch of the guys headed for Colchuck Peak.
Going by a frozen "waterfall" in the woods.
Moving over some granite slabs just below the lake.
One nice thing about going this time of year is being able to take the shortcut across Colchuck Lake. Dragontail Peak is on the left and Colchuck Peak is on the right. The route would be on the Colchuck Glacier in between them.
Taking a break above the lake.
They started out way down in the valley a few hours before.
Heading up the glacier.
The last few steps to the 8,705' summit.
Dan, Ron, Mark, David F, Pete and David S on the windy mountaintop.
