East Fork Foss - Necklace Valley — Saturday, Jun. 4, 2011

Central Cascades > Stevens Pass - West

East Fork Foss River Trail 6/4/11 Solitude with a capital S. Only one other car at the trailhead. 15 creek crossings, 3 with bridges. Downed logs to cross. Excellent forest and flowers: trillium, calypso orchids, and yellow violets in profusion. The silence of the forest, birds calling, frogs croaking, water rushing and roaring. Some views of high snow capped peaks abover us too. 6 of us alone on the north edge of the Alpine Lake Wilderness. No snow. This is a low elevation trail that doesn’t climb much. Try it , you’ll like it.
