A nearby peak 1/2 mile from the popular Del Campo, Gothic Peak was named after William Gothic, an early prospector. Combining Gothic with Del Campo can make a fine weekend two-peak weekend trip. The main route is a class 3 scramble. Camping in the Gothic Basin of Foggy Lake area can be especially beautiful.
