A friend and I are applying for permits in early July for the enchantment lakes wilderness area. In case we can't get the permits to do the loop trail through the area, can someone please recommend other options nearby that don't require a permit?
Looking primarily for a 4 day backpacking trip with Tenkara fishing options. Any tips/advice or recommendations much appreciated.
It is an extremely low snow pack so far this year (< 25% and melting fast!). If you move it forward a little bit you may be able to hit them when they don't require a permit. I hiked up last year and could have made it all the way through (if I had a ride). This year has significantly less snow.
I don't fish but there are all kinds of good trips in the North Cascades. I'm hiking the PCT Section K from Stevens Pass up to Stehekin starting last week of June & 1st week of July. It isn't a loop though. There are all kinds of lakes dotting the map just south of Rte 2. There may be better access for loop hikes from Snoqualmie (Hwy 90).
Hmmm that's great insider info, thanks!
I don't remember what the time slots were for the permit season so I'll have to go check it out on the website where you apply.
In addition to that, are there other areas that are somewhat similar, or that may have good trout rivers, if not the lakes?
Once again… I don't fish so my comments may not be helpful. I've always wanted to walk through the Lakes region which if you are visiting Seattle is actually closer than the Enchantments. The entry point is more on the Snoqualmie side (I live closer to Stevens Pass).
If you are looking for lakes and streams… may be worth considering as an option.
