The Hello Hiker email will provide participants with specifics regarding meeting places and times, but plan on an early start.  

This will be a long gradual climb up the Pratt Lake trail, taking us to a high ridge with views down to Ollalie Lake and out to Mount Rainier.  Continuing on we will reach Island Lake and take our lunch break there.  Depending on conditions and hiker interest, we may continue on to Rainbow lake before making our return trip down the Pratt Lake trail to the trailhead.   Afterwards, we will stop for a bite to eat in North Bend.
