Stuart Lake, Enchantment Lakes Trailhead

Start your journey to visiting Stuart Lake and Enchantment Lakes at this trailhead. Many people approach the basin from the Stuart Lake trailhead, located another 9 or so miles beyond the Snow Lakes trailhead (trails 1599 and 1599.1). From this trailhead, you're looking at around 6 miles and about 4400 feet of gain to the top of the basin, but don't be fooled - 2300 of that 4400 feet is gained in a single mile up Aasgard Pass. This route is often described as a level above the Snow Creek route, but many people actually prefer this way in.
