Three lakes in one day 6-12-10

We went up to Talapus lake, Ollalie Lake, and then Pratt Lake. It was a long day of hiking but well worth the views of Mt. Rainier.

This is a Camp sign:

On the trail to Pratt Lake via a shortcut the Ranger told us to take.

So i didnt take any hiking poles with me (dont have any to take!) but we decided to each take one on the way back and try it out. I think we both came to the agreement we like hiking with one pole as opposed to two poles. Just makes it easier. :awesomework:

On the trail down to the lake, still. The snow was getting pretty slushy and definitly could be cause for falling through if you're not watching your step.

looking back up from where we were just at.

We ate lunch here, awesome view.

Can you spot the hikers?! Yup, that's where we're headed.

The side of the trail.
