Trip Report

Mount Dickerman, Gothic Basin, Monte Cristo Ghost Town & Big Four Ice Caves — Friday, Nov. 28, 2025

North Cascades > Mountain Loop Highway

Closed for the season. The gates are shut several miles from the TH at Deer Creek. You can still access Big Four Ice Caves but it requires an extra walk from the gate to the TH.

Sadly we forgot to check before heading out but we still found another option nearby.
