Trip Report
East Fork Foss - Necklace Valley — Saturday, Apr. 25, 2015
Central Cascades > Stevens Pass - West
I went to the bridge across the East Fork, which is just under 11 miles and ~1000 ft of elevation gain roundtrip. The bridge looked pretty solid, with a nice handrail (not a handwire).
The road to the trailhead is in good condition – a few potholes but nothing that will slow you down much. Sedans should be fine.
The trail ranges from perfectly flat to gently rolling. There are a few rocky rooty sections, but you quickly forget about that during the long stretches of trail covered in cushy pine needles. There were some very light patches of snow sprinkled like powdered sugar across the trail, but definitely no need for snowshoes, spikes, or anything other than trail runners.

I opened up your added photos and saw that you had seen bear scat. I hiked this trail 2 weeks ago and I also saw fresh bear scat on the trail. Maybe it's a local spot for an elusive bear. I too saw no hikers on the trail.
