We’ll take the Pratt Lake trail to a highpoint at 4200 feet. We’ll then descend to Pratt Lake and continue for another .6 miles to Lower Tuscohatchie Lake, which is very scenic with attractive camping spots. That’s 6 miles. On Saturday we’ll do side-trips to the even more scenic Melakwa Lake and probably Pratt Lake (a bonus 6 miles total).
