Flapjack Lakes via North Fork Skokomish River — Saturday, Sep. 30, 2023

Overnight trip with great early fall colors. We were the only party up there.

Once you reach the junction at Spike Camp the trail up to Flapjack gets pretty strenuous. There are about 5 downed trees to shimmy over, and a huge blowdown that requires you to walk around off trail. There is one slightly sketchy washout requiring careful footing. The last .5 miles feels longer than it is.

One of the bear wires at Flapjack is broken but the other was fine. The posted map once you get to camp is a little confusing about where the first outhouse is. Turn around like you're heading back down trail and there's a side trail on the left about 25 feet back.

We found quite a bit of broken glass at camp, which was disappointing. Picked up as much as we could.
