Day 1. We dropped a car at the PCT trailhead at Snoqualmie Pass and then went to the Rampart Ridge Backdoor trailhead. We hiked up to the Alta Mountain Tarns. It was pretty straight forward to get to the tarns.
Day 2. We hiked from the Alta Mountain tarns to the PCT and then to Glacier Lake. Getting up and over to Alta Pass took some route finding. We found the booth path part way there and then it was easier. We hiked along the boulder field below the ridge. It wasn't hard to find our way, but it took a while to navigate the boulders. We then hiked to Glacier Lake.
Day 3. We hiked up to the Chikamin Ridge and then over the ridge to the PCT. We were unsure if we would be able to find the route from the ridge to the PCT. We were able to find it. It is pretty steep and you have to be extremely careful for lose rock coming down on you. You can see the route we went in the photo and from the link below. Once on the PCT we hiked to Ridge Lake.
Day 4. We hiked out to the car.
