East Fork Foss - Necklace Valley — Thursday, May. 25, 2023

Overnight trip to jade lake. Foss river was easy to cross on footbridge. Then relentless uphill with moderate amt of debris. Two areas with large Douglas firs covering trail and had to reference all trails to find it again. Probably about 30-40 snow patches to cross. Posthole warning as it's thinning fast. Final climb before lake is shown in pics. Once I reached Jade lake it was a no go for me as a slip of footing would end in an icy cold lake bath. Camped at the outlet...watch your footing on the unstable logs to access it, but great spot for a small tent or hammock.
