@@jeffreyyoh it would be better to break it up into 2 or 3 days which requires a permit, as you know. I was proud of myself for completing it as a through hike. PS . You are younger than my kids lol
This video makes me want to go back right now. I did this shortly after my knee reconstruction 6 years ago, but it took about 20 hours. I'll be heading back up next year and trying for closer to 10-14 hours range like you. You gotta go swimming in these lakes next time. That's my favorite reward. A lot of those peaks are also really fun to climb as well.
I have done this hike 3 times. It took me 4.5 hours to climb Asgard Pass. Perfection Lake was my favorite lake to camp at but boy the mosquitos were bad. There was a perfect sunset there but next day camping a thunder storm rolled in and that was an experience. My favorite hike in all of Washington State.
Why carry so much water and not carry a water filter? How early can you start and not be considered an overnighter? Seems like you could start at midnight and get some sleep at the lake with your back against a tree.
Is there any way to do this trail in reverse from what you did. I'd like to possibly do the core and turn around before Aasgard Pass and come back. Thoughts ? I've just started to explore this as my next hike.
Hey! Yes, it's definitely possible to to it in reverse, as I've encountered many people going the opposite way that I did. You would just need to start at the Snow Lakes trailhead as opposed to the Stuart Lakes trailhead!
I'd advise against going in reverse, unless you're Killian Jornet. Not only you'll be hiking uphill mostly, but you'll have to descend the frighteningly steep Assgard pass after hiking 15+ miles.
@@dward9007 - Yea. I've educated myself much more since posting that question. However, I was thinking of hiking that direction and back same direction to experience the core without having to tackle Aasgard. Since then I've learned more and think I can do it.
@@bl-nb8foif you start from the colchuck side and make it to snow lakes, keep going. Also, Asgard pass isn’t that hard. It’s amazing. Lots of different bodies make it up. Just take your time.
I did this last month and I can totally identify. The downhill is something most people don’t talk about but that’s the hardest part. Good job!
Wow awesome! How did you like the hike?

@@obryantgroup7182 yeah, getting the permit is near impossible! but congrats on completing the hike in a day, it was super tough

Asgard Pass was definitely exhausting! I'm not sure if I would do it again but it was definitely worth it when I went
woww the lakes are SO pretty
YES they were! you should hike it sometime :D
great video!
Thank you so much!
Good video.

Yes, not carrying a water filter was definitely as mistake! I started around 5:30am, but I'm pretty sure you can start as early as you would like.
Im not able to do this sort of a hike, so i TRULY enjoyed your video!🩷🙏🩷

@dward9007 So you dont recommend going to Colchuck lake, up Aasgard Gaard, to Snow Lakes and back?

what app did you use to track the trail on your hike?
I used AllTrails. You can download offline maps with AllTrails+, super convenient!
Wowwwww
You went to Asgard????
yessir aasgard :DD
i would've died T.T but wowowow UR SONG SO GOOD !!!!
HAHA thanks stephanie!
MOUNTAIN GOAT!!!!
Mountain Goat! Except he wouldn't let me pet him sadly :(
@@jeffreyyoh Mountain Goats are highly unpredictable and have injured and even killed hikers in Washington. Best to keep your distance.
make a video stealth camping lol
haha how would I do that :0
Jeffrey, you are superman
thanks!
Please respect and keep a healthy distance from wildlife. Mountain goats could mess you up if they wanted.
Well thanks a million for advertising an all ready massively overcrowded place. Nice job.
