Rachel Lake and Rampart Ridge

This hike is stupid easy, it was very pretty, but because it was so damned easy, I don’t really recommend it. The original intention of the hike was to find Hibox Peak, which we didn’t see any hint of a trail for. Then we thought maybe Mount Alta, but we couldn’t find that either. Being that I have THREE books on this hike and didn’t bring any of them nor did I bring my GPS to find that route, I really have no excuses other than the fact that I suck. So we had a nice stroll in the park. Round trip to Rampart Lakes was 11 miles, so I guess the distance made up for the sad elevation gain. The day was still gorgeous and being outside is always good.
