East Fork Foss - Necklace Valley — Saturday, Jun. 1, 2013

Central Cascades > Stevens Pass - West

This was my first time on this hike and I was not disappointed. This is one of those hikes that just beckoned you to keep going. For the most part, the tread is soft, and the miles will just fly by. I was alone on this trail until about halfway back from 5 mile. Then I began to meet people coming up. I saw at least 20 people coming up the trail in that last 2.5 miles. The trail is in wonderful condition overall. The waterfall is beautiful right now. There are several blowdowns on this trail. Most are small and easy to manage. One at about 2.5 miles is quite large, and though easy to get around, the devils club is starting to come up on the by pass so take care. There is another rather large blow down right before 5 mile. This one will take a little more effort to get around. I loved this trail, and I will be back to explore further.
