Tried the Colchuck Lake overnight route instead of day hiking it and the whole trip felt wrong, am I crazy?
Did the Colchuck Lake day hike last summer and loved it, so this July I hauled a full pack up Aasgard Pass for a 2 night trip and it was miserable. The climb with 35 lbs on that boulder field at 3pm beat me up so bad I barely set up camp, and the day hikers cruising past with tiny packs looked way happier. Does anyone actually enjoy heavy overnight routes in the Enchantments or am I just packing wrong?
