Harper and I had a lovely first visit to Gothic Basin. The streams and waterfalls are flowing decently still and there are some small snow patches close to Foggy lake still. I found ripe thimble berries, red and blue huckleberries, and salmon berries below 4000'.
I noticed the trail line on the Monte Cristo USGS quad sheet is placed incorrectly. The last mile or so from where the trail turns west should not turn until further south. The trail actually heads west at the small 5021' summit near the ponds SE of the lake.
