Meet at the Granite Mountain/Pratt Lake trailhead at 7:30 AM ready to go. Drivers to the trailhead will need a Northwest Forest Pass.
We will start by heading up the Granite Mountain Trail until it connects with the Pratt Lake Trail. From there, we will follow the trail until we reach Pratt Lake. From Pratt Lake, it just about a half a mile until we reach our destination, Lower Tuscohatchie Lake.
If Tuscohatchie campsites are full, we will head about half a mile back to camp at Pratt Lake.
