Trip Report
East Fork Foss River Snowshoe, East Fork Foss - Necklace Valley — Saturday, Jan. 7, 2017
Central Cascades > Stevens Pass - West
We were staying at a cabin just off Foss River Road, so we figured we'd check this trail out. The road up was packed snow, and there were two cars and a pickup stuck, so we parked at the turnout at the railroad bridge. The map for "East Fork Foss River Snowshoe" puts the pin at this approximate location, but there din't seem to be any sort of trail here. I'm wondering if it's just a generic placeholder for all the trails in this area? That's what most of the reports seem to be. We ended up walking up the road, taking a right at the fork, to the Necklace Valley trailhead. The trail was in good condition, with a pretty firmly packed snowshoe track. We only went about 3 miles in though, so we can't vouch for the condition further up.

Snowshoe hike description
Unfortunately the snowshoe description is gone (it used to be based on Nelson's snowshoeing book). Indeed, the guide entry is intended for what is the East Fork Foss River Trail towards the Necklace Valley.
