The weather man convinced us to change plans again this weekend. Instead of a 2 day climb of Mt. Baker, we opted for another day trip into the Enchantments. We wanted to climb a couple of peaks, but ended up just climbing Enchantment Peak.

Descending Aasgard Pass is usually something that you try to forget. However, due to the soft snow, we were able to enjoy going straight down in 1/3 the normal time. We had our usual BBQ in the parking lot and drove home tired and smiling.
