Talapus and Olallie Lakes

Another update: We tried this hike again yesterday and found the road to the trail head closed due to logging. A ranger at the Snoqualmie Pass Visitor Center told us that the logging will continue on weekdays through most of the summer. The trail is accessible on the weekends, however (and from what we have heard, VERY crowded). On weekdays, the lakes can only be accessed via the Granite Mountain/Pratt trail head at Exit 47. Last week, there were a couple of tricky creek crossings on that trail. I would imagine that the creeks are a bit lower now and that a lot of the mud had dried up. We will probably go back and complete the hike within a couple of weeks.
