The Stuart Range & the Enchantments ORIGINAL
40x13" Ink and Watercolor on watercolor paper
The Stuart Range is famous for the "Enchantment Area" full of pristine alpine lakes, white rock, mountain goats and epic climbing routes. A sub range of the giant Cascade Range, the Stuarts are just outside of Leavenworth, WA, the charming bavarian themed town in the middle of the mountains that separate
Western Washington from Eastern Washington. This piece captures the prominent features of the Stuart Range, looking south, including the Snow Lake Area, Prusik Peak, McClellan Peak, Cannon Mountain, Enchantment Peaks, Little Annapurna, Aasgard (Colchuck) Pass, Colchuck Lake, Dragontail Mountain, Colchuck Peak, Argonaut Peak and Mt Stuart. The Stuart/Colchuck trailhead is identified, a popular starting point for hikers.
To create this piece, I combed through hiking blogs, aerial photos, Google Earth and topographic maps to piece together this unique view. Great mountain art and peak identifier chart for the outdoor and nature lover!
