I did a solo overnight in the Necklace Valley and camped near the Necklace Valley Cabin at 8 miles. Beautiful campsite, blueberries were perfect, but it rained. Lakes were all down.
It is steep, but perhaps it would not seem so bad if starting fresh from the campsite on the river at 5 miles in, with all the interesting artifacts. I believe you gain about 600 feet from the trailhead to that point. I might try that the next time.
