This trip was a WTA logout. The East Fork Foss-Necklace Valley Trail is now logged out to Jade Lake, except for one duck-under log at approx. 3.5 miles from the trailhead. This one log unfortunately had some complications that kept us from making a clean sweep.
The trail is very brushy from about mile 3 to mile 5. Watch out for nettles and devil's club here.
The Forest Service has fixed the rails on the bridge over the East Fork Foss River past 5-mile camp. We added rocks in the river so you don't have to scramble over a root wad to get on the bridge (at least for this season).
Flowers lower included fringe cup, tiarella, columbine, fireweed, and goats beard. Salmonberries and huckleberries were ripe. Heather was blooming close to Jade Lake. Snow-free as far as Jade.
