After a dump truck hit-n-run changed my plan, an active burn in Glacier Wilderness decided to join the party and change it again. So I wound up in the Alpine Lakes Wilderness. Not a bad place to wind up. Days 1-2 were wet and cloudy, clearing completely by day 3 and on through day 5. I LOVE the forests of Washington ! They are without parallel that I have yet seen. I headed up East Fork Foss River to Necklace Valley, camping 2 nights in meadows because they were so darn cute, before getting high and finishing off at Tank Lakes for 2 more. Huckleberries and blueberries were plentiful and delicious down low, but the blackberries ? boysenberries ? were too tart and bitter.
