Day Hike - Pratt Lake Trail

Early start to enjoy birdsong and avoid traffic snarls. Only high winds will cancel. Join me for a celebration to a very busy spring kick-off. Hopefully we'll see some snow.

"EXPLORATORY" - I'm not wedded to destination as I'm registering this a month ahead and who knows what weather will do to the mountains between now and then. Capping at 6 hikers so we can move at a pretty good clip.

However, leader is an avid birder and photographer who likes to pause occasionally for photos and birdsong. We'll try to keep a 2.4-2.5 mph pace on this wonderfully graded trail, my personal favorite. Fewer breaks if it's cold. This is NOT a good "first-of-the-season hike" so please reconsider.

I WILL be checking in on experience for anyone who hasn't done a "Tuesdays with Court" activity yet in 2026. We may add Olallie Lake if conditions merit and folks are up for it.

Tuesdays with Court continues this week on a Friday (I'll be teaching this week).  Meet at Exit 47 at 6:15 a.m. ready for stretching/introductions so we can be walking by 6:30. (Dawn is 6 a.m.) Carpooling details will be forthcoming in Hello Hiker.
