From the edge of the Enchantments plateau, we look back down to Snow Lakes. The trail hits the lakes at the small dam that separates them, 7 miles form the parking lot. It crosses the dam and skirts the far side of the upper (nearer) lake. Most backpackers remember the hike from Snow Lakes up to the Enchantments as an ordeal – all the more reason to knock the trip off in a day with a fanny pack.
