East Fork Foss - Necklace Valley, Alpine Lookout — Sunday, Jul. 21, 2002

Central Cascades > Stevens Pass - West

Previous Neclace Valley Report hit the high points of the trails to the lower lakes. The High Route up and over to Otter Lake below Iron Cap Mtn and La Bohn Gap is spectacular. Fully snowed and good walking with minor avalanche debris. Afternoon temps were shirt sleave and the views were unlimited. All the pass lakes are still frozen in, but some heather is showing on the rocky outcrops at the top. The route down to Otter is snowed and the lake looked high. Cross country travel is tough in the afternoon with all the streams up. We spent 4 days playing in the upper meadows and came out on the 24th.
