ya, that next of the woods, ya, and o'niel pass was the pass I was talking about.
so when you come down from o'niel pass when you hit marmot lake/s you hit a fork, one way goes down the duck the other goes up to lacrosse lake and another one which I forgot. If you have less time another cool thing to do is go from lake lacrosse up and over back down onto the other side of o'niel pass ridge, down to that creek you pass on your way up o'niel from enchanted valley.

enchanted valley, lake lacrosse, right after you get down into the dose from lacrosse pass, then enchanted valley again on your way out. maybe spend a couple nights @ lake lacrosse. all have rivers/creeks or lakes by them.
ranger station @ enchanted valley and not sure what the deal with fishing in the national park is. the whole hike is in the park. temp ranger station between lake lacrosse and marmot lakes. they were not in when I went by last. But they keep a tent set up all summer.

no, lacrosse pass is like 10-12 miles from the lake. enchanted valley to the lake is like 10 miles maybe 11. then from the lake to the dose is 13ish. not bad. other then the 3000ft vert in 3 miles up lacrosse pass in the sun, but you just tough it for like 1-2 hours and bam your at the top. totally worth it.
