Geocache Description:

The cache is located at the northern end of Pratt Lake in the Mt. Baker-Snoqualmie National Forest. From the Pratt Lake trail head (N47 23.871 W121 29.192), it's a little over 5.5 miles each way with a cumulative elevation gain of 3,400 feet. The trail is your typical Northwest forest trail with some rocky stretches as one descends into the Pratt Lake basin. A Northwest Forest Pass is required.

The trail to Pratt Lake climbs through a hemlock and fir forest with nice views over Olallie Lake along the way. This is a good day-trip, but there is camping at the northern end of the lake for those who would like to take more than one day. If you have the energy, continue on for a half a mile to Lower Tuscohatchie Lake and enjoy another terrific lake with more great views.

The cache is a small lock-n-lock hidden a little way from the lake in a common geocaching location. A spoiler photo has been included.


WARNING: Cache seekers assume all risks, responsibilities, and mental condition involved in seeking this and any cache. Make sure you are prepared (ie bring a buddy and the 10 essentials) and that your skill level matches your ambition.
