A beautiful day for a trip up to Foggy Lake through the Gothic Basin. Lots of wildflowers, salmon berries, and huckleberries to distract one from the at times relentless climb up. Incredible views from all along the trail once you get out of the trees. Trail is in generally good shape and easy to follow. Needed to do a bit of scrambling at times but nothing difficult. Bugs were persistent but not plentiful. Water is plentiful. Still some snow at the lake and across the trail to Foggy Pass. A wonderful day overall. Highly recommended.
