I fully endorse Meredith's trip report from August 9 below. Exit 45 is closed during the weekdays. We approached Talapus and Ollalie Lakes via Pratt Lake Basin (exit 47) and had a spectacular hike. Distance was 8-9 miles, about 2500 feet elevation gain. First time on such a long hike with my baby, and it was heavenly and gentle. Not a difficult hike. Only one other person at the lake when we arrived, and soon we had it all to ourselves. Serene beauty. Signage is clear. Trail is totally shaded. Mosquitoes were only aggressive at the lakeside. Avalanche detour is short and not hard to cross. A great new mom first hike.
