We debated between Annette Lake and Pratt Lake Basin. The weather looked promising so we went with Pratt Lake Basin in hopes of getting some good views of Mt. Rainier. Only a little snow -- nothing like my end of March attempt at this hike. When we got to the viewpoint, Mt. Rainier was poking out from behind some clouds. We continued on toward Island Lake but turned back just before the connector to the Mt. Defiance trail. Lots of people out on the trail today.

Another gorgeous day for a hike! First mile was basically snow free. Second mile had spots of snow but nothing too bad. Third mile had packed, snow covered trail. Last mile became increasingly soft snow so snow shoes would have worked better than my microspikes. Followed the tracks but at around the 4 mile mark, the path started up the mountain. I didn't think that was right, thought I was close to the saddle. Made it up to a spot where I got a great pix of Mt. Rainier and then headed back down. Looking at my GPS route, looks like the worn path gets off trail right toward the end. Had I been able to see the trail I was very close. Oh well, a good excuse to come back and do this hike again.
