The Enchantments, in the Okanogan-Wenatchee National Forest near Leavenworth, Washington, is a granite basin of turquoise alpine lakes, larches, and mountain goats that is one of the most sought-after backpacking destinations in the country. An overnight zone permit is required in the quota season, and demand is so high that nearly all permits are allocated by an annual lottery.
