6 of us took a brief (FAR too brief) trip up to the Enchantments, our first time there. We had great weather, sunny and warm at the trailhead, getting pleasantly cooler as we ascended. The trail was much more arduous than we anticipated, and it took us about 5 hrs to get from the Snow Lake trailhead to our campsite at Upper Snow Lake.
The following morning we headed up in to the lower Enchantments. Due to time constraints we were only able to see two of the lakes but man, was it worth it. Larches have not started to turn yet, but still one of the most incredible places I've ever been.
I'll have to come back here again with a few more days to do it in. Trails are in great condition right now.

Snow remaining on Little Annapurna?
Heading up next weekend for an annual Enchantments multi-night and got a wild notion to try to ski Little Annapurna down to the lake if more than a few hundred yards of snow remain. Any info appreciated.
