East Fork Foss - Necklace Valley — Monday, Sep. 28, 2020

Central Cascades > Stevens Pass - West
First mile is very nice

The East Foss trail is a delightful walk in the woods for the first mile.  We hiked the valley up to the crossing of the Foss.  The outhouse at the trailhead is still locked.  From there to the bridge is easy going and somebody made major improvements to the bridge.  Thank you.  There are 4 blowdowns overhead, easy to walk under upright.  A half mile past the bridge the undergrowth from the summer encroached on the trail significantly.  The worst section is at the 5 puncheons.  Puncheon 2 is either overgrown or deteriorating and puncheon 3 is broken.  We stopped at a knoll for lunch and then headed back.

the bridge is much improved

Wow that bridge is improved since I was up there last! Any mushrooms? (not the edible ones the photogenic ones)

Surprisingly very few mushrooms. A group with baskets came up as we were descending and they came up empty. I did find one purple beauty and I can send photos if you give me an email address. Here is mine: janicevc@seanet.com.
