CHS 2 Hike - Lower Tuscohatchie Lake

CHS 2 GRADUATION HIKE! - CHS hike led at a CHS 2 pace (2.0-3.0 mph) Replacing the Benchmark Mountain hike due to road wash out. This will be an out and back, heading up to Lake Malakwa passing Olallie, Pratt and Lower Tuscohatchie lakes, and look over the edge of Hemlock Pass down into the forbidden (for this year) Denny Creek valley, then head back down. Since the Denny Creek trail is closed, we'll very likely have Lake Malakwa entirely to ourselves.
