Flapjack Lakes via North Fork Skokomish River — Wednesday, Apr. 30, 2025

Spent the night at Flapjack lakes. The trail is mostly clear and very easy to navigate with the exception of the final 1/4 mile. This is where the snow starts, but it is very consolidated and easy to walk on. We used microspikes on our trail runners and had no problems. The trail can be a bit tricky to follow, but should be better now as we added tracks. Just look for the orange markers in the trees and that will keep you going in the right direction. There are a few (maybe 3) trees that are across trail but easily crossed or walked around.

Snow will be there quite awhile as it is very deep in the shaded slope leading up the lakes.

Very quiet and enjoyable overnight spot as we were the only ones around at the lakes and on the trail.

If this is on your list get it early before the crowds show up.
