CHS 1 Hike - Talapus & Olallie Lakes

We'll start in dark, cool forest on a wide trail along Talapus Creek, enjoying tall cedars and hemlocks en route to secluded Talapus Lake. Continuing on the trail another mile and a half will bring us to a quiet lake basin which houses pretty Olallie Lake. CHS hike led at a CHS 1 pace (1.5-2.0 mph).
