"Didn’t start until afternoon so the temps were a bit higher than I would prefer. The trail is mostly sun exposed so shade was at a premium. Good views of the enchantments and adams from the tops." — oregon-mt-goat • Aug 18, 2023

"An off the beaten track summit. Hiked FR 128 up from its gate to the old trail at its end, and took that to the top of Sasse Ridge and then the summit. Overall rating 7/10, great views on the road, but the trail itself is covered in blowdowns from the last fire: hike this one before it disappears" — MountainQuest • Jun 24, 2023

"An easy and scenic hike. Did the whole loop hike up to Red Top Mountain and its lookout, as well as the agate beds. Overall rating 7/10, amazing views of the Stuart Range and a super cool lookout considering its accesibility" — MountainQuest • Jun 23, 2023

"Erik Schulz was brave or foolish enough to invite me on an adventure in The Enchantments, given my penchant for long days and alpine finishes experienced first hand on our summit to Preacher Mountain. Erik has an e-bike and extolled the virtues of an e-bike for long approaches to climbs on forest service roads. Intrigued about the increased opportunity for more car-to-car (c2c) climbs vs. planned camps or unplanned bivys' (Big Snow, Lake Constance, The Brothers, and others), I quickly agreed to join him on this adventure while also increasing Erik's experience with alpine finishes. Our plan was to take a trip to The Enchantments, and after a night of pouring over many GPX tracks, we agreed on a loop - climb the Colchuck Glacier, bag Colchuck Peak, summit Dragontail via Pandora's Box, drop to climb the Witches Tower, and finish with a stroll to Little Annapurna, then descend to Colchuck Lake via Aasgard Pass. Simple enough! I was up for a record day for hours and altitude in an outing, given I had gained 11,700 feet and 19 miles on a day trip a little over a week ago. I rented an e-bike for this trip as I did not have sufficient time to research a purchase and did not want t..." — markhadland • May 3, 2021

"From Terrence’s WTA Report We are the Mountain Goats, Terrence (14) and Nathan (16). We've been pretty busy hiking and climbing, but not always in Washington, so this is our first trip report in awhile! Today one of us (Terrence) Climbed Cashmere Mountain. The trail up to Little Eight Mile Lake is flat and easy its about 3 miles total and you gain a little over 1000 feet (it took us about 1 hour going up). From there the quality of the trail goes downhill. You begin to ascend a rocky ridge and begin to see views of Mt Stuart and eight mile lake. Once you hit the top of the ridge you almost instantly see another ridge - that is where your headed. The trail up to Lake Caroline is very similar to the trail up to the first ridge. By now you are around 5200 feet high and the top of the ridge is 6400". This section of the trail gains about 1200" in 2 miles making it fairly steep. Once your at the top of ridge you get amazing views of Lake Caroline and Windy Pass and your destination, Cashmere Mountain. You descend about 300 feet down to the lake but the trail does not go all the way to the lake instead it goes along the east side of the lake heading north. T..." — BryHong8 • Aug 4, 2020
