Basin

Basin "Snow Bowl"

At ~4500' elevation, the gully slope temporarily becomes less of an incline as it enters this basin, which during snowpack is a "snow bowl" (as shown in this photo). The slope once again becomes very steep on the other side of the basin as it approaches the ridgetop looming above. The upper ridge leads to the Cascade Mountain summit, located in the Alpine Lakes Wilderness. Photo taken on May 18, 2011.
