Talapus and Olallie Lakes — Sunday, Aug. 31, 2025

First time hiking this trail and first overnight with the kid. Got in to TH quite late and had to park way down ( ~0.3 mi) from TH. Late start at 1130am. extremely doubtful of getting any campsite but lucked out. Beautiful weather - a bit warm in the early part of the night and only cooled down after midnight. No (moving) water source after the bridge right before Talapus. 

Did not need to bring shades and hats as the hike is 99.9% shaded all the way
