Gothic Basin Sunset

[Jim Dockery]

A steep rocky trail (harder on my old knees to descend) leads to this beautiful alpine basin in the central Cascades.

And hard not to stumble while admiring the gorgeous colors, too!

That is some gorgeous color.

I am with Monika - not clear how you could descend with those colors as a distraction. Those are just incredible.

 

[Douglas Sherman]

Absolutely beautiful, Jim.

Thanks for the comments guys. I spent the night up there and descended the next day after climbing a couple of the peaks in the area. The one on the left is Gothic peak which has an easier than it looks scramble route up the left side.

Beautiful color Jim! Love the shapes of those peaks.
