AllTrails info:
Start at the Stuart Lake trailhead and head south to get to Colchuck Lake. Once at the lake, you'll have incredible views of Dragontail Peak and Colchuck Peak. The Following stretch is one of the toughest part of the hike, the ascent up Aasgard Pass. The trail runs past rocky scree piles, alpine meadows and countless glacial lakes. Mountain goats inhabit the area and are commonly seen all over The Enchantments region.

As you gradually descend into the Lower Enchantments, you'll pass Tranquil Lake, Inspiration Lake, and Perfection Lake, each one living up to it's name. The jagged McClellan Peak looms overhead to the south as you continue east past Leprechaun Lake and Viviane Lake. From here, you'll descend past Snow Creek Falls to Snow Lake. Although downhill, the trip from this point on features significant elevation loss and is no easy task on the knees. Take your time and enjoy the magnificent views in all directions as you follow the Snow Lake Trail back to Icicle Creek Road.
