Chose to hike to Gothic Basin via Weden Cr Tr. Beautiful. However, it could now be a blackened charred ruin. Almost to the top is a small tent site, I was checking out the site when I smelled smoke. At the end of the boot path on the slope I found a patch of smoking heather. The surrounding dirt was very hot the rocks underneath were to hot to touch. I emptied my water bottles on it and went back to the creek. A man and his son helped me dig it up and put it out. thank you for coming up the trail right then. People, NO FIRES, means NO FIRES!!!! After reaching my car, I reported the fire at the Darrington Ranger Station.
