A spectacular hike. The last part is pretty tough, in the heat especially, but also, pretty fun. After reaching the basin, I continued on to Foggy Lake, being careful to step only on rock, to avoid destroying the delicate plant life in the basin. Foggy Lake was frozen, but had some melting around the edges. What a scene, with Del Campo and Gothic Peaks framing the lake! Views into the distance from up there were quite nice, as well. The way up to Foggy Pass was snow covered, so I did not attempt it.
