Gothic Basin — Sunday, Jul. 27, 2025

The trail was in excellent condition. thanks, WTA. Got here around 8:00 a.m. and started the hike was difficult with those switchbacks but we took our time and made quick work to get up to the basin. My buddy and I decided to summit all the way up to Gothic peak and it did not disappoint at all. We could see everything as the clouds opened up that afternoon. Del Campo was right over there; could almost reach out your hand and touch it, and could see Vesper peak in the distance and a chicken at the top! The Alpine Lakes Wilderness is truly stunning.
