Olallie lake from trail 1007
Ralph and I departed from the Pratt Lake trailhead at 0815 and went up trail #1007 reaching a snow-covered trail at 3200'. It got deeper as we gained elevation, especially in the open areas. We finally stopped at 4300' (on trail #1009) since the snow was up to our knees and we did not bring snowshoes.
We traveled about 8 miles total in 6.5 hours. It was warming up so the trees were releasing their captured snow and dripping considerably. While we didn't make our objective, we got some good exercise and realized that next time out we would take the snowshoes.
