Hasn't voted | Thanks. This basin is relatively close to Maroon and Crater lakes but doesn't see much traffic at all. | | Posted Sep 16, 2009 1:10 am |

Voted 10/10 | So I mentioned that I went up there a few days ago. I initially wanted do hike up some of the peaks surrounding the basin and finally got the chance. Did an overnight last night. I made the summit on Buckskin Benchmark on Tuesday, but then a big storm came in which made climbing tough today. I tried to make it up Willow Peak, but it was far too icy. Went up a small unnamed 12,000 peak instead.
The basin is still not quite as colored as it is in your photo. Any idea when you took this exactly? | | Posted Sep 16, 2009 11:11 pm |

Hasn't voted | I believe it was towards the middle of September. I love the red rock in that area. | | Posted Sep 17, 2009 1:13 am |
