Dragontail Peak (8840') is "A lengthy and difficult hike up an iconic peak inside the Enchantments. Climbing gear and expertise required." The route begins at the Colchuck/Stuart Lk TH, follows the trail trail to Colchuck Lake and around the south end of the lake. Climbers ascend Aasgard Pass and ascend the snowfield on the eastern slope of Dragontail to the saddle dividing the Enchantments basin to Ingalls Creek. Then ascend the ridge to the summit. It is around 13 miles TH-to-TH, with 5800+ feet of elevation gain.
