Rachel to Rampart (4): Rachel Lake, just below the marine layer. There's not much to see along the trail to Rachel in any case. Once we got to the Rampart Ridge, we didn't have more than 50 feet of visibility so we followed a couple errant trails before arriving at Rampart Lakes. It didn't help that we left the map in the car. :P (1) Socked in at camp by one of the Rampart Lakes. (2) Mist, lake, camp. (3) Upper Rampart, still not quite thawed. (4) Skeeters on Damon's beenie. (5) Nothing like a warm dinner and a beer to beat back the cold.
