Thru-hiking the Enchantments, Washington
<p>The 18-mile trail through the Enchantments is considered <a href="https://www.earthtrekkers.com/best-day-hikes-in-the-world/" rel="noopener ugc nofollow" target="_blank">one of the best day hikes</a> in the world, but it will be a very long day! To give you an idea of the difficulty, the elevation and distance are comparable to hiking the Grand Canyon rim-to-rim.</p>
<p>Although you can camp in the Enchantments to break up the hike into multiple days, it is hard to get permits. Also, the permits that you will get will be for areas adjacent to the Core Enchantments, making each of the hike sections more difficult because you have to double back on each of them. Plus, you will have to carry all your camping gear. Given all this, I recommend the thru-hiking option.</p>
