Granite Mountain, Pratt Lake Basin

Today I hiked what I call the "Granite Mtn - Pratt Lake Loop."

This is a route that is not for the average hiker, but for ones looking for a little adventure and a little solitude off I-90.

From the Pratt Lake TH, you start by hiking up to the Granite Mtn Lookout and then head x-country down to Crystal Lake, Cad Lake, the Tuscohatchie Lakes, then meeting the trail again at the north end of Lower Tuscohatchie Lake, and then returning to the TH via the Pratt Lake Trail. Total mileage is 13 or 14.

There is a rough trail down to Crystal Lake, but be aware that beyond that it's a serious bushwhack. It's fairly tough going but an absolute hoot.

The trails themselves are in great shape, as all the other posts on these hikes state.

Cheers!
