East Fork Foss - Necklace Valley — Saturday, Jun. 11, 2011

Central Cascades > Stevens Pass - West

Beautiful late spring hike through a valley forest rich in wildflowers. Much of the trail winds along softly carpeted needles & cones. Three rustic bridges are crossed to get to the 5 mile turn-around point, the cedar bridge across the boiling white water was our favorite. Along a section on the trail near the river were several piles of bear scat. Poles were handy to step over the scat (just kidding) and especially handy for the stream crossings encounted along this peaceful meandering trail.
