We will park at the Pratt Lake / Granite Mtn trailhead, (or as close to it as we can get).  We will then hike 3/4 the way to Olallie Lake, then leave the trail and snowshoe up into the basin south of West Granite, then up to the summit.  We will descend via the SW slopes or the south ridge, then follow the Olallie Trail back to the cars.
