Rachel Lake, Rampart Ridge - Rampart Lakes — Monday, Jul. 27, 2009

Snoqualmie Region > Snoqualmie Pass

The hike to Rachel Lake does have water on the trail as previously reported, but it lasts for less than a quarter of a mile and provides no real obstacle. Once you hit Rachel Lake the mosquitoes become apparent. On the way up to Rampart Ridge they intensify, and finally reaching Rampart Lakes, they appear in full force. Be prepared! Rampart Lakes are beautiful of course, one of the top spots in the Alpine Lakes Wilderness. Come prepared for mosquitoes, or wait and do the hike later in the summer. http://ontheroad22.com/ http://www.flickr.com/photos/justinreznick/
