Day Hike - Rampart Lakes

Rampart Lakes are a very pretty collection of tarns above Rachel lake. It is a challenging trail to Rachel and then more to Rampart, but if you are up for it, you will be rewarded with some of the most scenic setting around. Weather may permit a swim in your own private tarn.
