On October 15th Evan and Kira did the Enchantments hike, a 21 mile trek through beautiful northern cascade mountain lakes. They started hiking at 6am in the dark and proceeded to climb up the steep slopes. After reaching the first lake, Colchuck, there was a two mile stretch that basically went straight up with no real trail to follow. Exhausted, they finally reached the top to see scattered lakes glittering in the sunlight, craggy mountain peaks, and bright yellow and red foliage doting the landscape. Evan told Kira to pick her favorite lake to stop at for a while so they could eat lunch together. One lake in particular, Crystal Lake, overlooked a deep valley with a mountain range in the distance. Shortly after reaching the lake Kira proclaimed, "Wow! This would have been the perfect spot to propose!" After they ate Kira was looking out at the scenery when Evan caught her attention from behind. He was on one knee holding out a beautiful diamond ring. He asked to marry her and she said yes through tears of joy. Thirteen brutal miles later, they made it down the mountain and celebrated with McChickens.
