There used to be an established trail from the head of the Elaho Valley to the 100 Lakes Plateau, but the two bridges across major creeks washed out years ago. I am hopeful that this time of year it will be possible to cross the two creeks as the water level should be low. Will need to take a rope for potential use in crossing these creeks. Most of the trail is in old growth forest, so hopefully not terribly overgrown. Navigation should be interesting...
This is a trip only for fit, experienced hikers, used to coastal bushwhacking, and scrambling. Hoping to have two nights camping up on the plateau, which is a very scenic area to explore.
