Gothic Basin — Saturday, Sep. 27, 2003

North Cascades > Mountain Loop Highway
What an incredibly gorgeous day for a hike!!! I finally got to do Gothic Basin which I had heard was a really nice area to get to and I even talked my friend into going with me (actually that wasn't too tough as she likes challenging hikes). The trail was steep and the rocks are a bit tricky, no boring nice trail here, but worth the sore feet. In addition, there was also not much of a ""bug"" factor. The Fall colors on the trees are spectacular with brilliant reds, oranges, and yellows. It was fun to climb on the boulders while the weather was clear. We got to walk into a waterfall where there were green ferns and mosses growing out of the rocks. Gothic Basin is a wonderful place to explore, so the next time I get up there will hopefully be a backpacking trip. Basically it was a great day spent in the woods! Happy Hiking :0)
