Jas and I started on the snow lake th at 830 fri 3rd. trail in good cond on way to snow. Got to snow lake around a little after 12. set up camp, most sites were availible so we got our pick. Ate and and headed up to the lower enchantments, went to the first lake... Vivian and returned back to snow lake. Our friends got to camp later on around 9pm. Next morning sat got up and hiked up to assgaurd pass and back down to camp at snow lake. The trail up to assgaurd pass areas of snow on the trail, we never hike with poles but would have been useful on the way down in the areas with snow. We have done this backpack trip 3 years ago, was very excited to be able to come back. We had a great time...it is so beauitful there. Sun morning hiked out. Lots of bugs. A total of 32.8 miles we did on this 3 day trip.
