Trip Report

Gothic Basin — Saturday, Aug. 21, 1999

North Cascades > Mountain Loop Highway
Basin still snow-bound, Foggy Lake still filled with snow. Trail mostly snow-free, but several creek/gully crossings were still full of snow. The biggest of these, beyond the big waterfall, was dangerously undermined (made a nifty ice cave, though). Look underneath before crossing. I crossed well below the big open hole. Dangerous run-out below several snow crossings; bring an ice ax. Flies in the woods, skeeters in the basin despite the snow(!)
