Trip
Day Hike - Foggy Lake (Gothic Basin)
This is a challenging 9.2 mile day hike with 2,840 feet of elevation gain to Gothic Basin. We’ll be greeted first by Gothic Lake, gateway to this special place and deserving of much respect. Along the way, we’ll see melting ponds, gurgling brooks, chirping marmots, and towering rock faces in every direction. The temptation is to wander aimlessly heading to Foggy Lake, however, off to the right, cairns mark the most prominent footpath. We will allow ourselves extra time to find the path and to appreciate the natural beauty surrounding us.
