    Report last Sunday: Amazing views! Be careful on ice on the boulders, slippery on the bridges and thin ice on Creek Crossing

    Tough trail in decent condition. Bathroom at the enterance to the basin. Best campsite is on the top of the large rock formation to the back of the first small lake on your right as you enter the basin.

Gothic basin finally!
With Kristen and lobo. Truly outstanding. Otherworldly at the top, with the clouds blowing by and had the lake all to ourselves. Follow the little flags up to the lake.

Gothic Basin Foggy Lake
w Laura U, Roo, Hesh, Tino. Snow patches, soft on warm day but used spikes. Would've wanted crampons and ice axe if cooler for just maybe one spot.
