There are many routes to access this high basin, including the Middle Fork Snoqualmie, East and West forks of the Foss River, Alpine Lakes High Route, and more. The most common route is the East Fork Foss River to the Necklace Valley, then a cross-country climb up steep talus fields and cairned boot paths to the hanging basin. There are endless possibilities for extended explorations from this location if one has the time.

As always, thanks for looking and I hope to see you on the trail in 2026!
