THE ENCHANTMENTS HIKE, WASHINGTON | Complete Day Hiking Guide

The Enchantments Hike is the most beautiful hike in all of Washington. In this video, we provide a complete day hiking guide so you can complete the enchantments as a thru hike with confidence and good preparation. The enchantments hike is not to be taken lightly as it can take anywhere between 8 and 18 hours to finish depending on your fitness level and hiking style. Spanning 22 miles with an elevation change of 11,000 feet throughout, this was by far the hardest day hike we've ever done so far in our hiking journey. However, it was also the most rewarding! We've never seen so many lakes and jagged mountain peaks all in the same day hike before. The enchantments trail lived up to its name and gave us one of the most memorable days of our life. Make sure to prepare yourself for this hike as it is extremely demanding. For instance, the 1.2 mile climb from Colchuck Lake took us over 2 hours alone due to its sheer steepness and rocky sections. Bring water tablets or a water filter as there are many lakes along the way. If you haven't done a lot of hiking before, then the enchantments day hike is not for you. You need a decent amount of experience and fitness to be able to complete this in a day. Good luck and enjoy hiking the enchantments in Washington!
