Prusik Peak in the Enchantments, Alpine Lakes Wilderness, Washington
The eminently photogenic Prusik Peak really calls attention to itself. That’s quite a feat in the Enchantments, an alpine basin area in the Stuart Range, a sub-range of the Cascades in Washington state. When climbers began exploring the region known for its sparkling lakes, they gave fairy names to the features of the lower basin (Gnome Tarn, for instance) and turned to Norse mythology for the upper basin (Valhalla Cirque). Some of those mystical names didn’t stick, but the region is still listed on maps as the Enchantments.
