The JMT is on the list and is 200 miles. The list is inconsistent, it should either be all day hikes or all multiday backpacking trips.

Fair enough, however the I would counter that the JMT can be sectioned, though not necessarily as day hikes. Other than the permit requirement it is way more accessible and less difficult than the Enchantments (don't get me wrong, they're both hard). I agree the JMT is the best hike in CA. I see how Yellow Aster could be considered the best hike in WA, the Enchantments is just different and special in its own unique way.
I totally agree the Enchantments are more spectacular, but they require some serious commitment and are not likely to be enjoyed by the vast majority casual hikers.
