At 3.0 miles hikers approach Talapus and Olallie Lakes. Both of these areas are heavily overused and are very popular day hike destinations.
At milepost four the trail splits — the Mount Defiance Trail #1009 continues straight along the ridge above Talapus Lake, whereas the Pratt Lake trail turns to the right, dropping into the Pratt Lake basin. the trail ends at the outlet of Pratt Lake and the Melakwa Trail #1011 begins at this point.
