I agree about doing this loop counter-clockwise. You get the worst of the climbing and descending out of the way while you've still got energy and before the daytime heat builds up, and can cruise through the last couple of miles with relative ease.

Simply amazing scenery, this trail looks insanely beautiful! You nailed it once again 👏👏

Nice views. That lookout is relatively new. In 1936 a L-4 groundhouse was constructed with an oversize stone base. The structure was replaced in 1975 with a 15’x 15’ standard R-6 flattop cab.

Your earlier videos have helped me a lot for planning my hikes. keep sharing.

Love your videos. They give me ideas for hikes to do. I am 65, so hlI avoid the real hard ones.

Nason Ridge has wonderful hikes for all skill levels. Surprised no Mt. Goats to see? Rock Mt. is very strenuous but the views are incredible. Looking forward to your next hike.

Beautiful video! that small structure by the look out was a weather station that had instruments in it to measure relative humidity in the air and also in wood(fuel) needed to predict fire behavior....

Awesome

I have hiked up here several times and camped along the lake in Fall. Loved this place. The trail coming up to the lake was burnt out about 10 years ago so there is a lot less trees and more lower vegetation now. As you can see the left side of Upper Eight Mile and some of the right side burnt out in the fire. You got the little eight mile lake then big eight mile. They were building the dam higher at Eight Mile Lake to hold back more of the water for irrigation for the Apple Groves. The core Enchantments are beautiful but most people miss seeing Shield and Earl Lake over Prusik Pass above Perfection Lake. I have hiked through the Enchantments for 10 years. I have been hiking in Washington State for 30 years and you are right there just is no better place to hike than Washington State.

I have hiked the Enchantments many times but not when the Larch Trees have turned Golden and not on a thru hike. I spent 3 to 4 days in the Upper Core. This allows me to really experience this enchanted place. Beautiful!!!

dude, your channel is awesome

Such a beautiful hike. Is there camping near the summit?

You just always seem to find my future favorite spots!

I may have to go see this one 1️⃣ n the fall, looks like a great little hike.

We hiked up there I believe in the summer of '79. It was beautiful and the water was great for swimming. There were salamanders swimming in the water with us.

Thanks for sharing Jade lake.

Love your videos! I've done a lot of the same peaks you've done here including Black, Vesper, Earl/Bean ridge to name a few. Would be fun to tag a peak with you sometime if you're up for it. I have my eye on a full moon sunrise hike up Ptarmigan Ridge and also climbing Larrabee and W McMillan Spire. Cheers!

A favorite!

It's a beautiful video! Thank you for sharing!

Absolutely beautiful glacier, views are amazing and so picturesque!

Loser

Heliotrope Ridge is steep then you are at the Coleman Glacier. On the way down the water is higher. Very nice Bonnie. You can climb this route to the summit if you like!

If you haven't done it yet be sure to check out "Railroad Grade" on the south side of Mt Baker. Another in-your-face glacier hike and you literally get to the base of the mountain.

My angel on hike again.❤❤❤

Spectacular

Thank you so much for this! We are going this weekend. Perfect timing 🙂

thanks much; your videos are great. you went high.

Stunning!

First view and first thumbs up!

I came here about a decade ago and had to do a vertical panorama to capture the grandness of that waterfall. It was definitely a great one. I also visited Teneriffe, but only when it was trickling.

I was just there on 8/4/24. It was 96° outside. This is my first time attempting, and I didn't have any poles. I didn't get very far - probably ten minutes upward, moving fairly slowly because of the loose rock. The higher I ascended, the less confident I became in descending, so I took a panoramic shot of the opposite mountainside and went back down. I didn't think my shoes were too bad, but I think poles would definitely help. It's so hard to capture the size of these mountains on camera. I'm from out of town, but I'll be back to conquer it another time. I ate at The Red Pickle, afterwards!

Planning to do this one soon. I cannot wait!

hiker got dat booty

Too crowded, point being to get away from the horde.

Adding to my bucket list . I loved mountain peaks . Lovely video. ❤❤❤

Thanks for sharing!! Doing Hibox this week. Bit of a drive so considering starting early am before sunrise and then camping at the trailhead when finished. How long did it take you from start to finish?

Hiking this 30 years ago I just wanted to keep going and never leave. The 3rd one is definitely worth it. We were lucky to be able to glissade some of the snow patches on the way back down. Thank you for sharing such a beautiful video and bringing back a wonderful memory.

How does this scramble compare to mt daniel? Ive done hibox but haven't done Mt daniel and am curious how they compare.

My most favorite ever . I love bears, seeing that one cross your path was heartfelt. Thank you for sharing.

Tanks for the wonderful nature and the angel.😇😊

This is my favorite destination to hike to. I try and do it once a year. Unfortunately you have to get there super early to beat the crowds.

Wow, amazing views. The view of Glacier Peak thru the keyhole looked almost unreal. A little to the right or to the left and you wouldn’t even be able to see that.

pinkze he say" forgot to add, the soundtrack is perfect"

pinkze he say " your enthusiasm is as beautiful as the scenery, loved this , well done🎉"

Been going there since before the mountain blew! We took gas lanterns, NEVER battery operated flashlights. Dad always said, batteries die, the gas lantern will stay lit, and you can depend on them. 👍🏼 Dont get trapped in the dark! He would have us kids sit on the big rocks and shut off the lantern, and we could hear whizzing and air going by our heads... BATS!! 😮 Fun times🎉 Tickets?? Youre getting jipped😂Its no longer a hidden jem🥺

Part of the reason why Lake Serene is known for being such an ankle-twister is because so many people attempt it in sneakers. I hike it all the time and see folks dressed like they're just visiting a city park. Proper hiking shoes or boots are essential. Poles are a really good idea as well. I agree though, hit the trail early especially if it's on a weekend. And yes... a more appropriate name for this hike is "Lake Stairmaster".

When hiking always know your limits. If you get to the point where you're feeling low on energy or something hurts don't keep pushing on. The lakes/mountains will still be there next time. Too many people get "summit fever" and end up out in the woods longer than anticipated, and that's when they run into trouble. You were wise to call it quits at Gem Lake, especially hiking alone.

*Hello.... I like this Alpine Lakes Scramble, the forest is dense and very green and sustainable, very suitable for climbing, trekking or hiking activities... greetings from Indonesia....*

Yay!!!! You did it. Nice work my friend. That was one of my most epic hikes to date. Incredibly steep, demanding, but absolutely worth it. And add you the fact that you had to re-climb/scramble sections just to get that shot. You're crazy ;) Love it! What's next on the bucket list? Chikamin peak and Glacier lake are next up for me.

I planned to go there this September. First week of September. What part of September did you go? How were your evening lows?
