Rachel Lake, Rampart Ridge - Rampart Lakes — Sunday, Aug. 31, 2008

Snoqualmie Region > Snoqualmie Pass

We went for a 3-dayer. Our first night was at Rachel lake; all the sites are in good condition but keep an eye out for other people's trash along the way. We picked up quite a bit of garbage. Our second night was on one of the Rampart Lakes; all the campsites are clear. Some of the trails around the upper lakes are grown over; there are still a few patches of snow. It is extremely cold and windy at night, with off-and-on showers, so pack extra layers. Be watchful for the restoration/ re-vegetation areas - there are several in this area.
