Horseshoe Basin (Stehekin) — Sunday, Aug. 10, 2025

   Took a side trip to Horseshoe basin after camping at Basin Creek campsite. Sunday was very hot and there is no water on the trail until you reach the cirque. The trail is in good shape, but a bit brushy in the midsection. There is one blow-down which is easy to step over. We went to the base of the waterfalls, but there is not a pool there yet due to the snow there. Dunking ourselves in Basin Creek to cool ourselves was very refreshing. Definitely worth the side trip to see this beautiful cirque!
