Hiked into the Upper Enchantments by way of Lake Colchuck and Aasgard Pass. Aasgard is in "good" shape - almost all of the snow is gone, just a couple of short snow fields to get across. This was my first time up Aasgard, and I was surprised by how much of it is on glacial silt and scree - the footing was very loose. It's spring on the upper reaches of the pass, so wildflowers are in bloom. Bugs weren't bad, all things told - plenty of mosquitoes, but not particularly aggressive (full on a meal of mountain goat maybe?). Upper Enchantments are in good shape, mostly snow-free along the trail.
